Wow the flight to London wasn't bad as I expected it to be, it took around eight or so hours from philadelphia. I could tell that Andy didn't like Philadelphia due to staying in long lines for customs. Once we got ont he plane it was smooth sailing from there. What really messed me up was the fact that when we left it was morning time and for a peroid of time on th plane it was completely dark. Once we arrived at London's airport, it was around 10'o clock in the morning. The time shifted did a number on us [View Full Entry]

Our round trip flight from Frankfurt to Crete on Condor (a German airline), was quite a steal. It only cost us 170 Euros. Considering how far we went that is quite the deal, if you flew that far within North America I'm sure you'd be likely to pay almost twice that much. While on the flight home, I took a picture of Jessi and Jono making the general sad face. The pouty "look how cute we are and isn't it just awful that we have to leave this beautiful paradise", kind of look. I then did what I always did for [View Full Entry]

Today was a trip to Windsor castle, the last of our stops around England. I'd been to Windsor nine years ago, and as soon as I got onsite the memories all came wafting back in. I was dissapointed that you could not take pictures everywhere. St. George's Cathedral in particular. This cathedral is extremely detailed, and is worth checking out. There are some kings and queens burried there, with fantastic tombs. There is a regular church service, and the guides are more then willing to give you any information you request. The changing of the gaurd ceremony takes place every day [View Full Entry]

Thursday, July 3 The weather was "spotty"--we dodged a few raindrops early on, then managed to be inside during the worst of it. Our very full day began when we emerged from the Westminster tube station into the London we'd been waiting to see. Big Ben and Parliament were so much more impressive than we expected! The Churchill Museum and Churchill War Rooms: The War Rooms are in the actual bunker Churchill and his top advisors and staff lived in during World War II bombing raids of London. They are furnished down the the smallest detail exactly as they were [View Full Entry]

There is so much going on I hardly know where to begin! Class is going quite well. It seems 100 times easier than classes I've had back home, but I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. The class is based on 100% coursework so I do not know how hard they will grade. It worries me and relieves me at the same time, realizing how easy it is... Last night (Wednesday the 2nd) we had a meeting with our CEA advisor lady. She took us to dinner at a classy restaurant in Leicester Square. It [View Full Entry]

After a great send off from my parent’s house we finally got on our way. I said come rain or shine we would start on Sunday 29th June - well we didn’t get much shine but we had plenty of rain. Stats so far: we have covered about 165 miles (still over 2000 miles to Istanbul - seems an awful long way to go). We have had 0 Punctures and 1 Crash (Joy had a little one - no harm done except to her pride). The first couple of days were very hard work as we cycled out of Wales, through [View Full Entry]

Monday 30 June 2008 First day at school. You are always a little bit wary of how the group is going to work together. Any weirdo’s? Any boring people? Besserwissers? But no, oh no, everyone in the group turned out to be very nice and friendly people, representing Germany, Norway and Sweden. We are nicely led by K and G, and there are a lot of opportunities to practice English conversation in this little group, which is exactly what I’m looking for. This is going to be great! In the afternoon K and I went for a walk around the village. [View Full Entry]
