i might blow away

okay, so i got to london. and i've slept a little over 5 hours since monday, so forgive me if this is delirious sounding. i almost died dragging my bags to the hostel today. it's one thing to be able to stand in the states holding all three bags at once, and another thing entirely when you're wrestling them in and out of the tube, up and down stairs, and through small gates. and i got lost trying to find the hostel, which wasn't fun. oh and did i mention the wind? i always thought i was used to wind, having lived all my life in either arizona or wyoming, two places known for their wind. oh no. it is insane here right now. i can't even describe it. i wouldn't be surprised if it made world news. i was having a difficult time standing, much less walking when i was weighed down with luggage. i was broadsided with a sign, and i came close to death when a 20 ft tall metal trellis collapsed seconds after i walked past it. a bookstore down the street had their entire front window blown out. what a great day for me to come to london.
