Message from Deanne
Hey :) Jessica has not really had a moment to blog yet since we left for Dublin. We are in Krakow now, leaving Friday evening and then heading to Alex's Granny's for the weekend, and then to Paris Tuesday. There will be no internet at Granny's.
I will tie her to the bed tomorrow morning and force her to type something. If you would like to bug her to blog more, leave messages! She has lots to say... however it can be hard to collect your thoughts. I can say we have had an awesome time and both doing well. Just thought I would post to explain because she will post more... just be patient! As they say in Polish... Dziekuje! ( Means thank you and is pronounced jen-kooya :)

Modern makes me laugh
After hours of speculation I indeed was awake before noon today...Shocking, i even surprise myself, mostly because shopping was the incentive! Today was a very eventful day with getting lost in Harrods, ((my heaven)) although the luxury bathrooms arn't worth the hype...no goldlen toliets or anything...and with the quirks of the Tate Modern, fascinating art or what i was told to be art. Oh boy do i have pictures of that! National Gallery or Tate Modern...the Tate modern definitely made me giggle. The theme for today can be summarized in one word "shutdown". It seemed as if everything we wanted to see..was convienently shutdown. But that didn't rain on our parade. Another advancement in quest towards adulthood... i was able to mastermind the London underground today. Well i owe it all to Deanne who taught this young grasshopper. BART, ha nothing compared to the maddness of the Tube! Oh and if this is still disputed, Prince Charles and Princess Diana were in fact married at St. Pauls Catherdral not Westminster Abbey. Sad to leave my second home of London but now headed for Dublin, IRELAND! Be back soon...with more adventures.
P.S Everyone wish my parents and sister a wonderful time in our nation's capital! and for the shoutout I LOVE my mum and dad, and no i could never forget about you.

Im Here.
So im not much for technology but im catching on with my very first ipod and blog site, i guess i've just joined civilized society in communication. Im learning so i think thats why excited...maybe thats why im still awake after my first eventful day in London. Who needs sleep anyways? Right? Wrong. I'll probably be face down in a pub tomorrow night snoring the whole time. Anyways, as far as the flight I have only one word amazing. Well that doesn't really say much because I think everything in London is amazing, I find the whole city fascinating. From security to my terminal all i could think of was that i did it! Im actually alone, just me, myself, and I. After almost 18 years under a dictatorship its quite liberating to travel 5,000 miles in freedom. However at the same time absolutely terrifying. In the real world ignornace is no excuse as i learned in the security line after i failed to follow "procedure" with electronics. After all im still new at this, they don't care. Well the good news is neither did i, no one not even immigration could break my spirit!
"Am i really here?" I still can't really believe it. Its a dream come true...the Queen, the cute accents (Which is the ultimate souvinier), the coke light, the fashion, the milkmaid's passage. Its all...here it all comes.."..LIKE I TOTALLY LIKE LOVE LONDON ITS LIKE HELLA COOL!" Gotta love California.
TO DO LIST 4 TOMORROW...
1. Eat like the British (No switching hands for this American!)
2. Europe's longestest escalator..maybe
3. Tea with the Queen
3. Coke Light
4. ASBO? JK
5. Sleep?..maybe
