I felt the exact same way the first night I spent in London. I knew no one, and I was somewhere I couldn't pinpoint on a map in a place that was really quite rundown and frightening. But, it's an experience I wouldn't trade for the world and I hope you feel the same way :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527818007332848959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2677241611426645731.post-57480869297359012642009-01-27T07:54:00.000-06:002009-01-27T07:54:00.000-06:00You are very brave girl.
