013 - sat 13/05/2006 - new york/london

our flight was crazy early. we tumbled out of the carlton arms at 5:15am. the subway runs 24 hours, and we were on it with a variety of shift workers, and other travellers lugging luggage.#

on the flight to london i watched "x-men 2" and "tristram shandy: a cock and bull story."

we flew into heathrow airport as it was getting dark - actually, it was kind of twilight up there until we swept under the clouds. by the time we got on the tube it was night. we navigated our way around the tube to get to limehouse, in east london. our friends sarah and tim met us at the station and walked us back to their place. it was great to see some people that we knew, it was weird how even just 10 days or so without talking to friends or family had us craving some interaction with people we knew. somehow the clock had crept past midnight - we lost some hours in there - we got the tour of their place, spent a bit of time catching up, and then to bed.
