Making my Way through the UK!!!

So, I left for the United Kingdom Tuesday morning with Providice College Singers, Providence's college choir that I am a member of! What a trip! First off I had to go back to Prov on Monday evening with my family so they could drop me off to stay overnight in dorm. Tuesday morning I left Prov at 5am to go to the airport. I only had a 9 am flight but the choir was divided into two, one half left at 7:45 and the other [my group] left Winnipeg airport at 9. I had to leave with a person who was on the earlier flight.
So, anyway, we left Winnipeg airport--my first time flying--and landed in Toronto to await our flight overseas to London. We had a six hour time duration in between flights. Then we finally boarded our plane for England and flew for another six hours, arriving at 6 am local time. We left Toronto at around 6:15 Ontario time and flew over six time zones, arriving in a new day to the land that we are exploring for three weeks. I lost a whole night of sleep.
So, this morning we arrived in London and went through customs quickly. Then we boarded our bus ['coach'] and went to see Windsor Castle, the largest castle in the country--sweet! Then we drove to our youth hostel, where we are staying for the next two nights. The evening we had off to sleep off our jet lag and to explore the city. I did both. Tomorrow's agenda is tentative:

Hopefully...
We will visit West Minster Abbey

























and maybe the Tower of London




















and then maybe Big Ben, without spending too much money of course.


























We begin visiting churces throughout England and Scotland on the 28th, minstering to them through music and connecting with God's Kingdom in the United Kingdom. I'm sure it'll be a blast.
I'll keep you posted.
