So I had to get up early today catch a bus to the airport. Everything went off without a hitch. I got to the airport with plenty of time and was pleased to see that my flight was not delayed or canceled. We boarded the plane late because they were being really picky about baggage. I luckily snuck through without them checking mine (it definitely would have gone over the size limit). Once again I got a window seat and the one next to me was empty. Too bad this w...

Woke up to more snow this morning. It was a very nice sight - but not to the Irish. They are not used to much snow in general, let alone snow this early. I had to wait around a while to meet Michael because the roads were too bad for him to drive. So I walked around and did some window shopping while I waited for his train to get in.

After that I made way to the Palace of Westminster where I met up with my architecture class for our tour of Parliament. This was really cool. Even though the building isn't that old (having sus...

Thanksgiving!!! I really wish I was home but that'll come soon enough. My iphone was back to normal!!!! About the time I was getting up I heard a knock at our front door; Dawn answered it. it was a hand-delivered, freshly-baked pumpkin pie for me from Mom, Dad and kevin. It was such a wonderful sight/smell to wake up to. I can't believe Mom found somewhere that even makes pumpkin pies in London - it usually seems like a pumpkin-free city (at least in the culina...
