England Day 2 - Swanley

A day with the Swanley Troop by Coumbah

Today was the first official day in London. We met up with our British sister troop from Swanley that we had been in correspondence with throughout our journey to London.  It was a bit hectic to figure out the tube station because Brittany was hurt and crippling along, we tried to get her on as many lifts and escalators as we could so she wasn’t on her knee all day.

When we finally met the troop it was so cool to interact and talk to them and get to know the country side of London in the day that we had. We went to the Charles Darwin house and learned about the family man and scientist that first wrote about evolution.

At lunch we enjoyed classic British treats like meat pastries and fresh strawberries. We took a long walk to the Roman Villa it was fun to see all the British homes and gardens.  And with the sister troop, we enjoyed looking at the Roman ruins .

After that we had a ceremony for the sister troop where we gave them the gifts we made in Atlanta. The journey home was fun,we talked and laughed all the way.
