Dear All,

Hope all is well. It is currently 5:15 pm here in London, so it's 12:15 pm back home. Today was a very eventful and insightful day. We all met at the Faraday House, the building for SU Abroad, and took multiple trains to Wembley Stadium. We took a wonderful tour of the entire stadium, which included seeing the stadium from the top tier seats and from the actual field, going into the British team's locker room, and getting our picture with the FA Cup while sitting in the Royal Box. After some shopping in the gift shop, we took the many trains back to the Faraday House to listen to a lecture by Mike Gillespie, a Sport Management professor in London. Mike gave a very interesting and exciting lecture on the 2012 Olympic Games in London, including extensive information on budgeting, broadcasting, and organization. We are now all planning to go out to dinner and then see what happens. Until then, I'll see ya when I see ya in London.
