Yahoo!  We made it! Heathrow was not as crazy as we thought it'd be on the second day of the Olmpics although it's still such a tangled, inefficient mess. Jetlag is slowly wearing off - girls have been going to bed between 1-2 am and sleeping til 12 pm.  

Some things we noticed right away: 

• Still lots of people smoke here!  The kids react like they're breaking the law "Mama, look what that man is doing..." 
• Solar panels everywhere - Andrew's brother Martin also has them installed.  What a great investment.  Right now he's breaking even (the electric company buys his surplus) and within 9 years, they'll be paid off and he'll enjoy a nice profit.
• Knowing imperical measurements will get you nowhere.  Our "Navi" (GPS) on our rental will tell me to turn in 6,8 kilometers.  Then she gets all urgent because action is necessary in 175 meters.  Who thinks in meters?  Tomorrow the temps should reach, 25 Celcius.... good?
• German keyboards are different than American ones.  Itäs verz difficult to tzpe anzthing without looking carefullz! 

We're enjoying spending time with Andrew's family and today we went to a water park.  Coed changing rooms.  Don't know if I'll ever get used to that...
