Keys

Ok, so traveling with me is always something interesting, I always make it for the best stories... Well, we arrived at the London Heathrow Airport on time, go through the UK border pretty quickly, the taxi driver was waiting for us with a sign and everything. It was raining quite a bit but we made it to the Syl's apartment with no problems... Then things started going downhill, it was not quite 8 in the morning, very dark and cold. We found the envelope with the keys and could not get the door open, we tried everything with all the keys that were together. I proceeded to try to get in touch with Syl via Internet since my phone does not work in a different country, grrrr. We were getting ready to call a taxi and find a hotel since there was no way we were going to get in when Syl responded to my messages, she told us to use the tiny key on the top lock and that went awry, the key broke in the lock... By now, I have already tried to find one of her neighbors and nothing since it is Christmas Day. Well, Syl was able to call a Locksmith which we knew was going to cost an arm and a leg. We continued trying to open the door but no such luck, when he arrived, he gave us the options and finally around 10:30 we got in the apartment. I was freezing by now since we had been standing outside this whole time. It ended up costing us a lot of money but as we would say in Brazil, "Quem entra na chuva e pra se molhar." I feel horrible about the whole thing but now it is done. We took our showers to warm up and slept for a few hours to try to catch up on our sleep.
