After a 10.5 hour flight from San Francisco we arrived in London around 7:30am on June 18th. With little to no direction on how to get to our flat, we got on the tube (basically the same as BART), got off at the stop we thought was right and wheeled our suitcases and carried our bags to the check-in office (we also got lost on the way). 3 hours after our plane landing we finally made it to our flat. Lucky enough to be on the first floor we unpacked and then headed out to explore Kensington. Our flat happens to be right across the street from Kensington Gardens, a 10 minute walk from school and another 10 minute walk to Kensington High Street (a main area of town). We did some grocery shopping and I went for a run, exploring more of Hyde Park and the area right around my flat. After having an orientation meeting later that night we drank wine as we watched the sunset and then called it a night since most of us had been up for over 36 hours without a nap!
