Writefully Yours' Guestbook

Awesome!
Wow, it looks like you're having a great time, and haven't even gotten to Scotland yet. Your grandmother and I may have to do a similar trip sometime. Keep up the blogs!

Addicted to travel
Just like the rest of us life is much richer when we feed our addiction. Your photos are lovely.

Hey!
Hey Alexis! I love following your trips!!! Ireland is beautiful, isn't it! You're going to several of my favorite places this summer! London is the best (in my opinion) because of its rich history. However, I've always wanted to visit Wales, too. And for years, my students and I have watched several webcams in Ireland and even know the names of some of the farmers' sheep that often appear on one of them. Did you know that Kandice Crawley is spending a month in London and Paris, too? Her mom (who is my principal) posted a pic of Kandice in Paris last weekend while she (her mom) was in New Orleans at the Cafe Du Monde with the caption "same difference, right." Anyway, that would be neat if you two ended up running into one another in Europe. Anyway, I would imagine you're sleeping very well after eating the best burger ever! It made my stomach growl to read your description! In London, I really enjoyed Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum, and of course seeing the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London. If you get the chance, visit Althorp House to see Princess Diana's exhibit. I think this is the last year it's going to be open. Last year, her brother announced he would close it this year. I saw the traveling exhibit a few years ago, and it was fascinating to see! Have a beautiful day! And "mind the gap" (you're about to hear that a bazillion times if you take the underground in London). :-) Deana

Great Start
Great start Alexis. Wish we'd known about the free walking tour, since we also stayed in that hostel. Maybe they didn't have it then. Keep those blogs coming

YOUR EYES.....
GLAD SOMEONE ELSE COMMENTED ON YOUR EYES. THEY REALLY ARE THE WINDOWS TO YOUR SOUL. I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR OPEN TESTIMONY FOR AND OF THE LORD. I AM PLEASED TO KNOW YOU AND TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FOLLOW YOUR TRIP. SUCH INDELIBLE MEMORIES YOU HAVE MADE. YOU ARE A PRECIOUS YOUNG LADY, PRETTY GIRL!!!

FATMA.....
I RECOGNIZED HER FROM THE CPR CLASS THAT SHE GAVE LAST YEAR. SHE WAS MOST INFORMATIVE.

Fantastic photo
Lovely sunset.

JUST WHEN......
I THOUGHT THAT, SURELY, YOU HAD EXPERIENCED ALL THE EXCITEMENT THAT ONE PRETTY GIRL EVER COULD ON HER TRIP TO EVERYWHERE, THERE'S MORE TO COME! I STILL PRAY FOR YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY, AND MAYBE A HANDSOME YOUNG MAN OF GOD ALONG THE WAY. YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION, AREN'T YOU??? MUCH LOVE......MRS. LINDA

Enjoyed your blog
I read every one of your blogs and enjoyed them immensely, perhaps because I am a solo traveler myself and can identify with many of the experiences you talked about. Especially the part about dragging around a heavy suitcase. Happy traveling on the rest of your trip : )

sorry about that guy
Sorry to hear about your experience with that guy. Just a hint. I have found that one of the best security measures for a woman alone is to pretend to be talking to someone on their cell phone (or actually do so). They don't know if your phone works or not or if you are describing them to a friend or the police. Let them see that you are looking at them as you "talk" on your phone. Happy travels : )

facinating blog
I spent 7 months in Europe last year traveling around and mostly staying in hostels. It is interesting hearing of pretty much the same situations from a woman's perspective. I can fully appreciate the comments about lugging the suitcase around and being a bit lost in a strange city and trying to find your way to the hostel or figure out bus schedules. You certainly had better luck than me in finding delicious food to eat. After reading some of your blogs I may make Spain part of my itinerary this Fall. I am currently exploring the Rocky Mountains in the US now. I invite you to check out my blogs. Perhaps you can glean some useful information from them on good hostels in various locations and etc. if your travels take you to some of the places I went last year. Happy travels : )
