I ♥ London

Five years ago today I embarked on the most magical adventure- a Study Abroad in London.  So, please forgive me for all the pictures as I reminisce.

Palace of Westminster, Palace Guard, Sunset over York, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Glastonbury, Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare's Home), Phone Booths, Re-creation of The Globe Theatre, Stonehenge, Cambridge, Warwick Castle

And then we went to beautiful Paris

Versailles, Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Notre Dame

Ode to Harry Potter: 

Platform 9 3/4, The Elephant House- where J.K. Rowling started writing on a napkin, Hogwarts Courtyard, Millenium Bridge

One of the very best parts was the people I met- I am lucky to call these top-quality people my friends.

(No trip to London is complete without a Toga Party- obviously.)

This week I read my London Journal (the one time in my life I wrote every day) and it was so fun to remember all the amazing experiences I had there.  But, I was surprised to find that the thing I wrote about the most was my family- how much I missed them and how excited I was to go home and be with them for the rest of the summer.  And, there was also quite a bit about a boy named Bryan I had just started dating.
