Thanksgiving in London

We had a lovely Thanksgiving in London! We were happy to have family here to celebrate with us. St. Paul's(the church where Princess Diana was married) had a service for Americans in London. We tried to go but we were turned away since the church was filled to capacity. It's amazing how many Americans there are here.
The only hard part was finding everything we needed for our traditional feast. We paid way too much for our turkey and had to have stuffing and gravy mix brought to us from the States. Our only other challenge was the size of our oven. We weren't sure if everything would be ready at the same time, but amazingly we pulled it off. We missed all of our other family and friends, but we hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We are so thankful for all of you!

Hi All! I have just spent a lovely thanksgiving
holiday in the wonderful company of Anna and Nils...
the lovely new residents of London! It was fabulous!
Mom and Mike were here as well and two of my friends
from Santa Barbara came for our feast! Even though we
were relaxing a whole bunch we actually did a lot! I
felt like I was back in Chile with all the football
watching... Nils, Mike, and I went to a pub the first
night in good old English fashion to sadly watch London lose to Croatia... I wasn't too distraught. But
everyone else in the pub seemed to be quite upset! This morning Nils, Anna and I went for an early
morning ice-skate! It was so fun; I haven’t done that in years! I loved being here and trying all the new
things and getting used to the London vocab!... Cafe Nero (as opposed to starbucks), skinny coffee for take
away (non-fat coffee to-go)! It was a wonderful holiday (vacation:-)) and I was so happy I could see
Anna, Nils, Jackson, and Nessie's new life! Thanks for everything! I will see you very soon!

Cheerio!

Love, Meg

What's Inside the Flat?

We've put together a few early pictures of our flat so you can get a better idea of where we live. The Red Room is where all of our wonderful guests will be staying during their time at Hotel Sorenson!

Dearest Anna and Nils, Thank you for sharing your new home and environs with me! I loved the walks to Buckingham Palace, thru Hyde Park, and around the city streets. Everywhere was a feast for the eyes! And the trip to Richmond and Kew Gardens was gorgeous. It was all so wonderful! With all the languages I heard around the city, I've been inspired to learn French! I love you two. Mom/Viann
