Hey everyone, So, My time with Danielle is almost up here and I leave on Wednesday for Edinburgh and then to Glasgow on Thursday to meet Andrew; both places should be awesome and I am especially excited for the wolrd pipeband championships.... go Caledonia! Anyways, Danielle and I went hiking on Saturday to Port Erin, the beach is beautiful and the hike was exciting.... we passed over barricades to get there, so daring are we! After the hike we went to Peel for Icecream (mint chocolate chip is the best!), out for drinks with her friend Jacqui and then to the Carnival at castletown (turned out to be a little boring, but it was strange to see a very bad entertainer belting out the tunes!). Sunday was awesome even though it was raining;we went hiking to ... read more

Hey everyone, So, I haven't written in a while and probably should upadate you all on Ireland! Firstly, it is so amazingly beautiful and I am in love with it; the island has so many varied types of lanscape- from mountains to beaches and so on. The land is so very green and the sites are amazing; I have taken way too many pictures, but oh well.

Other than that, I have had soem fun the last ... read more

Hey everyone, So I am writing from my families home in Lancing, which is along the English Channel, right below London... it is super nice here and so I am off to the beach for today! I am loving being in a real house for a while with family and having my own room, bed and space to just hill out- a vacation from my vacation really! Anyways, I have a bunch to write about, so here goes! You heard a little about Belgium and then we were on to London via the Chunnel; however it is just a dark tunnel that you don't realize you are going in to... but very fast, so it was worth it! We got to our beautiful hostel in London and crashed; we stayed in a 10 bed dorm room ... read more
