well were finally here:) after an 8 hour flight from entebbe into heathrow airport in london, we have indeed arrived. we're staying at "the rubens at the palace" hotel - a couple blocks away from buckingham palace! the hotel is gorgeous, tho more compact (just like everything else here) than im used to, but its great! im loving every second of it.
were staying in the "executive suite" and its very nice (tho like i mentioned before very compact haha). i have a quaint little sofa bed in the front room and just up the steps is nana and grandad's bedroom - with a king size bed and the bathroom branches off from that. its soo nice to have such a beautiful bathroom after the past week in mbale lol.
after checking into our room and consulting with the concierge and so forth, we headed out to check out ticket pricing and times for a show tomorrow evening. im not sure which show we'll be seeing just yet - but it will be either wicked or billy elliot (a specifically british broadway musical). when we arrived back at the hotel, we had dinner in the front bar - it was so great. felt sort of elegant and welltodo sitting there in the front window in the lounge seats with our meal before us. it was all too lovely - with a great view into the buckingham muwz and for people-watching in the great window. ill have to try and post some of the pictures later.
its a totally different world from uganda - its like im visiting two extremes of wealth back to back - the extremely impoverished and then the very wealthy. both coutnries are beautiful but in very different ways. im hoping and am sure the Lord will have something to teach me even in a place like london over the next couple of days and we shall soon see just what he serves up:)
keep up the prayers and ill do my best to update again tomorrow!
