In England!

Right now I am sitting on the couch inside our "flat" (apartment) looking out the window at Manchester, England's skyline. It is 9:30 p.m. here in England which means it is around 2:30 p.m. in Texas. Our flight arrived in England at around 6:05 this morning. We then left from the airport in a taxi cab to go to our flat to take a nap. I did not realize how exhausted I was from the time change that happened on the flight over here until after I woke up from a three hour nap! We were wiped out. I was not quite so sleepy after I ate a delicious lunch at an English pub called The Ox. The fish and chips there were so good. After lunch we did a little site seeing around Manchester. I am so fascinated by the architecture of all the old buildings here. They are so beautiful that I can't stop taking pictures of them! If I wasn't using my aunt's laptop I would post pictures of some of the things we have experienced so far, but I suppose you will have to wait until I get home. I forgot to mention the flight from Ft. Worth to Chicago on the way up here. Tess, My mom, and I all got to ride in business class! We were treated like royalty. Our seats could be reclined and adjusted anyway you wanted. Tess and I also got to watch a movie on the flight. I must say though that the flight from Chicago to Manchester was not quite so relaxing as the flight from Ft. Worth to Chicago, but we survived. I'll keep you updated as much as possible. Until then, good night. Or should I say good afternoon! Talk to you soon.
