Arriving in London


Today was the day that the majority of our group arrived in London.  Whether flying into Heathrow or Gatwick, or taking a train in, we all managed to find our way to our lovely little hostel at 7 Brechin Place in the Chelsea-Kensington District.  After a brief meeting with Pavel and our host Fabio, we set out for a lovely dinner at the Cactus Blue Restaurant and Lounge, which provided an eclectic blend of Mexican, Cajun, and Asian flavors.   We finished dinner just in time to watch the Euro Cup match between Sweden and Russia as a group in the hostel lounge.  Much to the delight of Pavel, and to the dismay of this particular Scandinavian, Russia pulled off an impressive 2-0 win over the Swedes.  With jet-lag setting in and a busy couple of days ahead, most call it an early night.
