I cannot believe London is over. I am safely home in Minnesota and it feels… well, simply weird! It is almost surreal being home and looking at pictures and thinking I was THERE. And boy have I been looking at pictures! I am constantly leafing through the hundreds of pictures I printed out and feeling [...]
“The world is a book. Those who do not travel read only a page.” –St. Augustine My grandma sent me this quote in an e-mail. I started to get a little teary eyed on my plane ride home from Barcelona last weekend. I could not believe my last trip while abroad was over and how [...]
I am less than THREE WEEKS from returning to the great state of Minnesota and, first of all, I just now figured out how to put pictures on! (See below) But more importantly, I am not sure how I am feeling. For the first time I actually I am a little homesick. So, sometimes I am [...]
When Irish eyes are smiling, Sure, ’tis like the morn in Spring. In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing. When Irish hearts are happy, All the world seems bright and gay.

I left snowy Madison and came to London, where supposedly the weather is milder, and am currently sitting in the biggest snow storm the city has had in 18 years. I actually had a Snow Day today, all the schools were closed. The funny thing is, the amount of snowfall would have been completely normal in good old Wisconsin, [...]
Barack Obama’s Inauguration day! We all crowded around our small flat TVs to watch the inauguration on BBC.

So, I’ve been here over a week and there is so much I’ve come to love, along with a couple things I’m not so fond of… The Tube. Didn’t think I would love it. But I do! Its so easy and fast! Its a little freaky… but I’ve already seen so much of London because of [...]
We have definitely touched down in London- and it is amazing! I can’t even think what to start writing about because I have already experienced so much! Well first things first- the plane ride went fairly smooth- thank goodness for free wine on international flights-I sat next to the cutest British woman who was in her [...]
