J-Term in London and Paris: Day 1

Today was the first day of my J-Term trip to London and Paris. We spent the night on a 6 hour flight from Newark, New Jersey and arrived in England at 6:40 in the morning. We spent the day relaxing, and caching up sleep (conquering jet lag).

My roommate and I spent the morning sitting at a Starbucks, very European of us, then spent a good three hours sleeping off the plane ride. After getting out of our sleep deprived stupors we got dressed and headed out to dinner. Down the road from our hotel is a nice little open air shopping center with restaurants. Our first dinner in London was at a place called Giraffe, and it was great. It was a "world cuisine" restaurant with all sorts of different food. I figured, since I was in England and they are big for tea, I had a tea to drink and ended up with a Quesadilla. It was delicious and the atmosphere was very eclectic.

Tomorrow starts the real trip though, with museum visits and sightseeing.
