I arrived back in the US yesterday afternoon at around 3:30. Our flight was delayed about 2 hours, but we all made it home safely. It is a little strange to be back in America, but I am happy to see all my family and friends. This will be my last London blog, so thanks for taking the time to read about my journey and please keep in touch throughout the summer! Last Wednesday, my flatmates and I took a train to Hampton Court. Our whole flat had read The Other B...

I can't believe my time in London has almost come to an end! I am still enjoying every minute, although I'm also excited to come home. On Monday evening I saw 'Woman in Black' with my theatre class. It was a pretty scary play, but at least it didn't disturb my sleeping patterns! Wednesday was the last day of my internship. My co-workers even took me out for dinner after work, which was very nice. On Friday afternoon, Laura and I had high tea at the Dorchester bef...

On Friday I visited Westminster Abbey, which was fun. There are so many people buried there that it's a...

I spent this past weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland with my roommate Whitney. We arrived in Edinburgh at around 2 pm on Friday afternoon. We stayed at the Castle Rock Hostel, which was quite interesting to say the least! The hostel was decorated very tackily in a medieval theme, complete with mannequins in armour standing on the stairs! Each room had a theme; Whitney and I were in a room entitled "Mr. Men". Each bed also had a name, so Whitney was Mr. Tick...
