Leaving St Pancras station this morning en route to Paris. When I was in high school, I saw a TV show (yes, pre-internet) about some crazy engineers who were going to try tunneling thru the chalk under the channel. “How awesome would it be to ride THAT train?!” Bit sad to say goodbye to all my friends (old and new) in London, but we will meet again! Allez! Allez!

Blane setup several climbing challenges in our last session. This was the easiest, but so fun! Was hangin as the coppers rolled by… “and you sir! how old are you?! You should know better!”

London’s infamous Chainstore!

“A bit more… more… just. one. more. step . . .” Found another visitor to swap photos with!

Turns out the awesome-meter goes to 11. Sea breeze, France is just visible across the Channel… and Kentish Tea. Yes, ok, it’s kitschy, but I _am_ a tourist.

Another thing I thought I’d never see! I came straight from Heathrow …just hiked two hours from the train station at Dover Priory. TOTALLY worth it.

Across the pond. But before I meet up with some other ‘Yanks tomorrow, I’ve a bucket list item to tick off. Heathrow, to Paddington station, to St Pancras station, to a certain Southeastern traing . . .

My trusty pack looks like a Puffin, no? Our next adventure begins in London at RDV. Tracy will be catching up w us next week… in the Alps. #swirlsonthemove rep’in #lvpk for this leg of the journey!
