How much is that sandwich?

Greetings again. We are sitting (well some of us are sitting), while others are sleeping in London's Heathrow Airport. We arrived this morning at approximately 1:30 AM our time. The plane ride from Dulles to London was a bit rough. Maria and Joshua were seated four rows up from me, but luckily the two seats beside me were not occupied and they were able to move to the back row with me. Granted, we were right beside the lavatory and galley, so not much sleep was had on the flight. We had several in-flight movies to choose from, so our time was not spent in boredom.

Upon arrival, we searched out a restaurant for breakfast. Imagine our surprise when we paid $51 American for three bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches, a coffee, tea and mango smoothie. The $51 American converted to 23.5 British pounds. After eating, we ran (literally) into Elizabeth and Bill. We are all now waiting for 12:30 to roll around (6:30A back home) to check in at our gate. Will update later on the next leg of the flight which is slated for eight hours. Tired, but excited.
