This blog has two parts. The most recent is from 2009. I spent three weeks (July 3 - 28) in Ireland with students from my college and my colleague, Mike. Then my family was on vacation in London through August 15. This blog's purpose was to document and share highlights and photos from this trip with friends and family.
The earlier entries are from 2007. This was another study abroad trip. We spent three weeks traveling by train around the UK. The course was Travel Writing. Enjoyed this trip with my British colleague Lucy.
Hope you enjoy, and feel free to comment.... full info
