Can't Wait to See More Although I haven't had Italy high on my list of places to see, you're blog excitement and pictures really makes me want to go. It's so full of amazing art and achitecture. Can't wait to see your next blog.
Unbelievable Beauty I never knew Norway was this gorgeous! I always thought that fjords were just rivers running into the ocean. It's spectacular. Your pics are great.
haha.. and i thought i was being nice with slow!! i had something worse in there, but had to change it... :) but i guess you're right..absentminded..but not really like a genius!! nice try, though!
Halloween I just watched a show on the origins of Halloween on the History Channel. They do the same thing in Ireland. One other thing they mentioned is that is Celtic tradition to put food and sweets on the outskirts of town to appease the spirits and keep them out of their homes-thus, the origins of Trick or Treating.
The differences I think you are correct in many of your observations of the differences in US and UK culture. The UK is definitely ahead of us in the whole Green movement. I do believe that it is really starting to gain momentum in the US, though. E85 and Soy Diesel use is starting to grow and I think most Americans are starting to get it.
Too many Americans do have the superiority attitiude. There's nothing wrong with our pride in the US. It's well placed, but it's just not polite to carry that as an attitude when visiting other countries. I never met a person in Ireland or the UK that had that attitude toward us.
I will say that although there are too many pushy Americans with an attitude, the vast majority are very much like the British. I believe we will always have a kinship with them. They were the original immigrants and fathers of our country.
SLOW!!! Nice Blog and btw, we had a wonderful time in the UK. But, whats this about Dad being a bit slow sometimes? Absent minded and forgetful at times (not unlike many geniuses), but slow?? Thaks a lot.
Love, Dad
Love the pics Your pics are so nice, they could be post cards or something and I particularly like the one with the sun on your face. You're GORGEOUS Heather! Hope you're having a wonderful adventure!

I love grave yards too. I like to walk around graveyards, mostly because they're so peaceful but I never knew you did too! that's too cool. but I'm so jealous this one sounds way more interesting than any one I've been to. ( except maybe the one in louisiana )but still there is way more history in your graveyard than mine. ttyl love you.
love,
your twin
scottish accents heather my love, I am literally pea green with envy. I only hope you will study these accents so you can come home with a good brouge. don't worry after watching BBC america for a few months I was able to understand the brittish. If i can do it watching tv you can do it living there. I miss you and I hope you are having the freaking time of your life.

Heaven You keep saying 'I don't know'. You don't have to know. That is God's job. I am sure you are well aware of that. And I am sure he has extra angels around you protecting your every move, or He wouldn't be making you move. Bless you, Heather, this web site is great. Be-safe, Love, Patricia

I have a passion for traveling... experiencing new cultures, seeing amazing architecture and landscapes, and trying new food. I also like to learn from observing and listening to the people I meet along the way and hopefully make a few new friends.
2014 - I've been pretty quiet on Travelblog for a while...living in my childhood house, going to grad school and working 2-3 jobs at the same time didn't leave much fun ... full info
