I went to London last weekend to meet with my friend Kathleen (who is studying in Wales) and had the BEST time! London is such a huge city! I loved learning how to work the Tube station and get around! We stayed with a friend who is studying there in Little Venice, which was a beautiful part of London!

The first day we saw Tower Bridge, Millinium Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Cathedral..and all the other very very touristy things..that were so awesome!!!

I loved walking all over London! We went to the park too and saw a man feed a squirral out of his hand! The park had birds everywhere , and was so beautiful!

My favirote part is when we went to a Market . The market had everytime of vintage clothing and antiques and old british things, also food and jewelery. It was so colorful and full of all types of people. There were people playing music all over the streets and it was just such an amazing atmostphere.

That night we did a Pub Crawl with Kathleens friends, that was organized by here school. It was fun to learn about some old pubs and pub songs!

This monday my best friend, Caroline, came to visit for her birthday and for St. Patricks day. We went to Causeway on the most beautiful day of the year so far, it was so amazingly gorgeous. We also went to Old Jamison Distelary the oldest distillary in the world) and did a tour. We walked to Dunluce Castle (3 miles) and explored all over the coast of N. Ireland. We have had a wonderful time catching up

Yesterday we went to Dublin for St Patricks day! there was 300,000 people there and we had SO MUCH FUN! The pareade was so cool and festive, there was green EVERYWHERE. We ate lunch at an adorable vegitarian resturant (mom you would have loved it) and spend the day going through the crowds, listening to music, and checking out everyones VERY tacky green clothing!

I am buying my two month Euro rail pass today to start my travels for 56 days! I start in Germany and go counter clockwise. I am SO EXCITED.
