Day 129: London, England

This is really a half day, but I am leaving Europe, so I figured I'd do a post really quickly before I get on the plane.  I arrive in London last night at about 10:20, and started my commute to Heathrow via the Straw.  That is my nickname for the subway in London.  Because it looks like a little straw, underground. It took me a while, and it was nearly midnight when I got to the airport.

I found this highly efficient signage along the way.
When I got to the airport, it was pretty much a ghost town.  There were about 0 people anywhere.

Not a lot of people to talk to.

Cool lighting outside the terminal.

My bed.
I paid money for internets to watch this game.  I thought it was great!
 After the game, I slept for a few hours in the terminal.  I woke up and went to the ticket counter at around 8:15.  The nice lady over-booked the 9:45 flight, so now I get to fly home almost 4 hours earlier.  It is nice to not have to wait as long in the airport. 


It is pretty unbelievable that I am leaving Europe.  I really don't know what to think about it.  It is really, really bittersweet.  See you soon!
