So we finally boarded the plane for Heathrow...our first stop! No it wasn't to be. We sat at the gate for over an hour because of some missing paper work needless to say we missed our connection for Lisbon and had to sit in the airport for 9 hours. To see how it left us freeling see accompaning picture of Claudia! We finally arrived at about 7pm. I know now why you should pack light...you will havrbto carry your 50 lb bag up the stairs? The neighborhood is just what I thought it would be. The architecture is beautiful so sorry if I take pictures of bldgs. Like Ron and Shelly did of food. Love you all and now I am going to pass out.
Claudia-
We made it! Tomorrow our goal is to find the kingdom hall and get our bearings. At the airport I realized we were the ones who sounded like foreigners. Although other than new york I dont think I have heard so many different tongues. We exchanged our dollars to euros and should have waited, but live and learn. The area we are is so Europe and our room is very simple but clean. I made a mistake in the reservation and said we were coming on the seventh because uts when we left NY, but forgot we were not getting in until the 8th. Oh, my this little man caring for, the desk didn't know what to do. He kept pointing to the paper saying no show, canceled, but no worry, it's okay, yes dont you worry its ok. Very cute. He really wanted to please. They do, NOTHING on computer, there are pzpers everywhere with notes of nthis and that. I made sure I had it in writing than we payed.
We went for a brief walk and when we got back he had map out to show this and that, so, sweet. He pointed out some good resturants and said they had good wine, then sort of said well, ifmyiunlike it. I'm thinking he thought he maymhad offended us both imshowee him the bottle we just bought and he was so happy. Thats all for, now!
