London, UK

The great thing about saving London for my last trip this semester is that they speak English.

Additionally, London was already decorated for Christmas upon our arrival so it was…

I've embarked upon an ambitious journey to places I've never been with people I've never met and no foreign language skills whatsoever. This semester will be worth documenting.

Mom WOW! How incredible!! Glad you're making the most of it. This is truly an experience you'll remember for a lifetime. The mosaics are so beautiful and so plentiful! 170 pictures is a lot but they went fast because they're all so wonderful. Barcelona will be hard to top I think but keep trying! Love and miss you, Mom

Teri Hi Cait. Your pictures are fantastic! It sounds like you've met some wonderful fellow students, and you're already getting around to visiting some amazing places - what a terrific opportunity. Enjoy it. I'll keep checking out your blog and pictures.

Justin i'm jealous. those places are awe inspiring...and they speak french there too...I had a craving for a crepe today and I thought of how lucky you are because you could probably just go down the road and get an authentic one!

Aunt Maura Hi Cait (or should I say....bon jour), I can't believe I'm sending you a message in France! We are so very proud of you. All the new territory you're exploring must be quite daunting as you mentioned in your blog, but you have a great attitude about how to overcome some of your expected trepidation. Please know we are all thinking of you (some of us are quite envious, ok I mean me) and we love you very much. Keep writing! God bless, Aunt Maura
