January 6th! Transfers and arrival.

Guten morgen! Ich bin in Heathrow and have just demonstrated the extent of my German knowledge. This will be fun.

Everything's blanketed in snow and it's gorgeous although I'm currently more concerned with the keyboard configuration overseas. I apologize if I end up speaking neither German nor English.

My journies have begun, starting in Phoenix and heading to Newark, NJ. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with my grandparents and aunt in Jersey for several hours. My grandpa was excited I was coming and bought me socks! Eep! After spending the majority of the day with everyone and incurring no expenses (something no day will see from here on out), I hopped on my next leg from Newark to London.

I'm currently in the British Airways lounge thinking how strange it is that I'm now of legal drinking age. It weirded me out so all I've had is water. Although my host mother would appreciate me being trashed on top of me smelling like a cat shelter of death. On my flight here I sat next to a nice gentleman from Benin. He was rather interesting and had studied in Montreal for six years and currently works as an economist. I enjoyed picking his brain until I awoke from my plane nap and realized that I couldn't understand his accent for about fifteen minutes.

Well, I'm hoping my flight has a gate! Because in an hour I'm leaving, and sans gate, it will be a trying process (Heathrow's so backed up right now, you see).

Bis spater!
