Greetings!

You're viewing the blog I kept for my month-long study abroad excursion to the United Kingdom, that began on 7 July 2005 and concluded on 8 August. You can find photos and such silly things like that by looking at the archive, or clicking on the subject titles seen on the right-hand side. In the future, I'll probably use this whenever I take a special trip to a new place or whatever.

Cheers!

La Fin?

Well, after a million hours on the plane (and a delayed flight to Dallas), I'm back in good old humid and hot Texas.

I fear my taste buds have changed because my mom got me a cake from Casa Linda Bakery (as a welcome home/birthday thing) and I could barely finish one small piece! It was just TOO sweet.

Or perhaps that's because yesterday I lived off of all the candy I purchased in the airport to get rid of all those pound and 20 p coins. Hahahah could be a combination of both.

Wine gums. Those are weird things.


The last night in London mostly everyone went one last time to the Old Black Lion. It was a sentimental time. As for this blog, I'll probably use it whenever I take big trips again or go cool places....hopefully more often than I have in the past!

"Such Texicans!"

Well, this is probably my last post from London. It's been amazing- I'll write some thoughtful entry when I get back home that no one reads, thankfully! hahah.

Okay, well I arrive in Dallas around 9 PM Central Time. Pray that I don't get delayed and miss the flight leaving Detroit......


Oh, and I spent my last day at Camden Market and back to the Imperial War Museum to look at the holocaust exhibit. Now I need to pack!!!
