I won't bore everyone with a play-by-play of my arrival in the UK. I left PDX on Sunday and three flights later I walked through UK immigration clearance with a suitcase, a backpack and a bike box to find Steady J waiting for me on Monday morning! Hooray I'm here!
Yesterday we ran important errands like getting my monthly metro pass and buying a phone! I got my first smart phone and can't believe that I now have a phone that is probably more powerful than the computer I had my freshman year of college. The guy in the phone store asked me what I was looking for in a phone and he did a great job of not laughing when I said..."well, I want a phone. Probably one with a camera...." Comical because that described everything in the entire store. I can't decide if it is good or bad that I am this blown away by technological advances. Anyway, I successfully acquired a phone which I have so far used to call Justin, text Justin, check email and look at Google maps. I have one contact in my phone. His name is Dr. Steady J.
Below is a photo of the Mersey River taken from the promenade in Otterspool Park on my first evening in Liverpool. The park is in our neighborhood, a five minute walk from our apartment. I mean "flat". A five minute walk from our flat. See, I'm getting the hang of this!
