First Day of the Extravaganza!

I am dead tired, so this will be a short post.

After running around like a headless chicken this morning (a headless chicken watching Sleeping Beauty), I got on the 11:55am train to London. I brought my small suitcase, but do not be deceived by appearances (you'll get turned into a Beast!!!) because it's the heaviest thing on the planet due to my many guidebooks.

I napped a little on the train before watching the snowy, Narnia-like countryside going by. I got an email from Deborah (the awesome Kenyon-Exeter prof) last night warning that I might have travel delays because 10 inches of snow were being forecasted for London. :P But thankfully the most we saw was about two inches. *phew*

Got really turned around in Paddington, but finally made my way to the Circle Line and @@. Had to get off at Edgewater (the stop after Paddington) to get on another train going in the same direction. Apparently this is a new change to the Circle Line which makes things just a little inconvenient.

Finally got to the Harlingford and the woman at the desk told me that even though I'm leaving SUPER early (try 5:30am) I can have a cold breakfast. *hugs her*

Then got caught up on random computer/internet stuff.

Then I had the most wonderful dinner. I hadn't eaten since my half a bag of crisps in the morning and the apple at the Harlingford so I was ravenous. I went to Depa Tandoori and had scrumptious deliciousness. I finally realized that to get the kind of nan I'm used to I have to order butter nan and I loved myself for that. My main meal was Chicken Korai and it was the perfect spicy-ness. Not spicy enough to burn off my tastebuds, but it still tasted Indian. Yummy!

And now I'm going to bed.

See you in Paris!
