A few more days to go. Holy cow. I have some post cards here that I meant to send out. Unless I overnight them, I'm going to beat them home. So I guess I'll have to decide what to do.

We went to Stonehenge and Oxford yesterday. Oxford, the Nerd Capital of the world. 101 miles of bookshelves running under the streets, just about as many bikes ( Read more... )

It really is a bittersweet feeling. I miss my own bed, my own friends, and my own family with a passion, but I don't really feel like I want to go just yet. I'm done with London. I've seen it, I felt it, and I’ve tasted it. It's a little to busy for me. Too many tourists unsure of where their going, too many locals jaded by the wonders surrounding ( Read more... )

Hey there all! I know you're all getting a little ancy waiting for me to come home, and trust me when I say that I love it here, but I am really missing all of you. I've been thinking about it and have thus come up with a list of what I miss the most.

We began our trip on last Thursday, the day of the London attacks. Maggie and myself were less then impressed. This emotion was shared by just about everyone else, but we had plane tickets, DamnIT! After ( Read more... )

I figured instead of sending you all photo ladened emails I'd just make a Live Journal to post my pictures in, giving you my unique charm in all the while making you all jealous. Go me!
So here's a taste of last week.
