Hello, London

I arrived this morning after a very easy flight from RDU.  As we were leaving the plane, we were told that a strike by UK Border Agency staff was likely to cause delays today.

Luckily, I got through customs quickly and did not have any problems with my work status because of the letter by AIFS and NC State. 

It is a lovely cool day--only 51degrees when I got off the plane! Clear skies and a light breeze--quite a change from the weather at RDU last night.

I will be meeting up with the students tomorrow morning.
