Finally in Leicester!

Well, I made it here! I had an excellent trip, traveling from my home to Chicago and then to Heathrow. I made all of my connections, and no trouble at the UK border. I was asked why I was here, and the gentleman wanted to know what relatives I was visiting. I did not get much reaction when I told him cousins and Richard III. They have probably heard it all there!

I decided to take the National Express bus to Leicester. It was very inexpensive and direct. I enjoyed people watching in bus station--hikers, old people, mothers with children.

The coach arrived on time and I met my cousin for the first time in person. I know I am going to have a good week!
