We're in LONDON! The flight was smooth though a bit cramped for sleeping. We got in around 12:25 and after we got to the hotel we crashed until we woke up to Sara's call. We didn't get our money exchanged at the airport - how foolish - so after searching for a currency exchange at a bowling alley and another hotel we finally had to hop on a free double decker bus back to the airport. Finally got that situation straightened out and then we hopped onto the tube for an hour and half ride during rush hour to meet up with Sara.
We had a great Asian dinner with her and then stopped in at a local pub for the atmosphere and soda. We brain-stormed ideas for our Great Britian excursions when we return after Africa. Some of Sara's work friends stopped by and we got to meet them. We headed for the tube about 9:15 pm and got back to our hotel an hour later. We're quite comfortable with the tube system - NYC taught us a lot! Looking forward to coming back and staying a while!
We head out for Africa tomorrow morning at 10:05 London time.
Ok...that's it for now!

We're here at the airport waiting for our flight. It was delayed about 50 minutes. Check in was a breeze!! I could fly international ALL the time! All four big bags were within the weight allowed so no shuffling! Special thanks to all of our friends, students and strangers that donated so generously, in such a short time. We are looking forward to seeing the happy grins on the children's faces as they see their new schools supplies.
Our flight leaves in about 2 hours then London here we come!

About Me
- John Delzell
- Camano Island, Washington, United States
- A professional artist for over 30 years, John Scott Delzell strives to capture light and form in all its subtleties and strengths while enjoying a unique relationship with his canvases. Balancing brilliance with contrast, defining edges and contours with the ever-elusive background, Delzell creates a diverse body of work with styles ranging from photo-realism to heavy impasto impressionism, surreal abstract forms, and combinations in between. His images of brazen snags, twisted driftwood and temperamental skies are juxtaposed with soft portraits, serene seascapes and abstractly woven speckled forested trails. His portrait project, Life Encounters on Canvas, explores the diversity and intimate thoughts of students who have immigrated from countries around the world. The 28 portraits and their accompanying life stories have been displayed at community centers, libraries, public schools, colleges and universities. He also enjoys the creative interaction of composing an original painting that meets the needs of the collector. John Delzell’s studio is open by appointment throughout the year.
