Day 4
Today is the first day its been typical dreary London. I think it is actually beginning to storm now. The reason I came down from the room is because the fire alarm went off (as it did last night at 6 in the morning) and I decided to stay and blog. Monica left this morning so I woke up (too) early to eat breakfest with her. She is the last of my first-day friends.I spent the day sightseeing with two girls who are traveling together Paula and Paola. Their names are pronounced almost exactly the same and this was the source of much confusion. But other than being chain-smokers they are very nice and convienently on the save-every-penny plan like me. They actually met 2 years ago at an English as a second language school in London and decided to meet up again to travel for a bit. Paula is from Mexico and Paola is from Costa Rica. Being as they just became fluent in English two years ago they continually asked me to talk to people for them if they had a problem or were looking for something and I got to try to figure out things they couldn't remember the English name for. They forgot "key chain" and either "incense", "candle", or "potpouri" I never really figured out which. We visited Trafalger Square and Buckingham Palace and H&M and Harrods. They leave tonight for Berlin. Everyone is going to Berlin... what's going on there? I only have 45 seconds left. So this better be the end. Ciao!

Don't forget to check out Lil's pics of you (see my earlier comment. I hope you can find a good (cheap or free) place to upload your pics soon!!
Have you called Renee's S. African friend yet?
It sounds like you're having a great time. We plan to try calling you again tomorrow morning (Sunday).
Today we went to visit Emory with Lillian. She really likes it. It's bigger than any of the schools we visited with you but isn't overwhelming. (5000 undergrads; 12,000 in all) It kinda has a smaller school atmosphere because the campus is pretty and compact and there's a "small town looking" business section right off-campus even tho its in Atlanta.
She likes the fact that lots of kids double major in Music and something else. I guess I should let her tell you.
We plan to take her to Sewanee in Nov. Maybe she will decide on another one or two schools to visit too.
I would delete the spammers' comments if you can.
I love you, Brannyroo!

Good Morning, Beautiful (actually afternoon there). We finally got thru to Renee's voicemail, so check the voicemail to hear our voices!!
We know how to call now - finally! - and we'll try to call again around six (eleven London time) and again an hour later if we don't get you then.
Have you decided to stay at your hostel longer, or have you made other plans for tomorrow night?
It's 8:59 a.m. Sunday as I write.
