Okay just a quick recap of what is going on.  I will be backpacking europe for the next couple of months and i am in dunstible right now.  it is a small town about half an our outside of london.  my aunt's sister heather and her husband mark are putting my up for a couple of days.  i started my trip in salt lake and flew to chicago.  i had a four hour layover in chicago which was pretty uneventful and then flew to the london heathrow airport. 

it probably shouldn't have been too much of a culture shock, but it was a little bit.  first off i had to get some of my money changed.  i knew that it wouldn't be the best place in the airport, but i couldn't help it cause i had to get a bus to luton where heather and mark could pick me up.  i got 38 pounds for 100 dollars.  it made me sick.  so then i went and caught my bus to luton where heather and mark picked me up.  we went back to their place and i slept for a couple of hours.  then we had the most typical food for england, curry.  (that's what alan and stacey made me in florida)  then we just chilled for a bit.

then next day we went to see the oldest church around here that henry the 8th or some henry atleast would stay alot.  it was pretty cool.  then we ate at a pub which was pretty good.  and for a scenic walk.  so i haven't had any crazy stories yet, but it has been a nice go between.  i meet up with ben tomorrow in front of big ben.  hopefully everything goes allright.
