Stuck in London

Hello, so this is what's going on with me right now. I was supposed to fly home this past Saturday around 5pm but because of the “Winter Wallop” Delta canceled all of their flights. They literally canceled all of their flights! I was able to get another flight on Air France to Paris and then another flight to JFK on Tuesday. If all goes well I should land in NY Tuesday around 7pm (which is tomorrow.) I was able to work it out with our housing company to move into a single flat, granted this flat does not have heat or hot water, but at least I have a bed. It was hard saying goodbye to everyone and seeing my friends off to the airport when I was supposed to go to the airport with them.
That first night I was alone was kind of depressing. It wasn’t that I was devastated to stay some extra days in London, it was just that I had been looking forward to going home, and that I was completely by myself. I went out to dinner at the Spaghetti House, which was delicious as always, but I just wished I had some company. I walked around the area and did shopping; only I didn't buy anything other than the new Michael Buble CD at Tesco because I actually have NO room in my suitcases. Then I went to sleep for 12 hours, which felt great.
Yesterday, my second bonus day in London, I went to the National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square, which I actually enjoyed a lot. After that I walked all over Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Piccadilly Circus. I had dinner at TGI Fridays, ordered a strawberry margarita, and some Jack Daniel’s sesame chicken strips. It was nice to be in an American restaurant, and my waitress was even from California. After dinner I went to see Where the Wild Things Are. It was pretty good, not what I was expecting, but it occupied my time.
Today is exciting because when I woke up I called the War Horse box office right away and managed to get a ticket for £16.50, which is actually unheard of because it is so hard to get a ticket to that show, and they are so so expensive. War Horse is the most popular play in London. It was originally put on by the National Theatre, but it did so well that it moved to the West End. It is a story about WW1 told from the perspective of a horse. The play uses life size horse puppets absolutely beautifully, and when I took a tour of the National Theatre I saw one of the puppets, and I knew that I had to see the play. The entire time I’ve been in London I’ve been trying to see it and wasn’t able to get a ticket. It is so lucky that I finally got one on my last day here, plus one that is so cheap! Very exciting! So anyway, hopefully next time I post another entry will be when I am home safely in New York. I hope everything goes as planned. I cannot wait to be in the USA again!
