Hello to all, I need to get better at updating this more often, but it is hard because school has really picked up in a short amount of time. Last week I had long days of class. Some highlights included having a cooking class on Wednesday. We made grilled pitas and tzaziki sauce, greek salad, and meat.

Hello everyone!! I am writing to you from London in a youth hostel. A girl from my trip, Erin, and I got in around noon, and have had all sorts of adventures since. After a long red-eye flight with little sleep, we made an educated guess as to which "tube" (London underground subway) station to get off on. Well, we made the wrong guess and ended up walking a very long way with our huge backpacks and carry-ons. Luckily, Londoners are very nice and we were asked by several people if they could help point us in the right direction. We [View Full Entry]
