Big Ben!
On the London tube
Leeds Castle. It's kind of on it's own island
The White Cliffs of Dover
From the top of Dover castle
Skylar and I have been here for over three months now, which is CRAZY! Time has flown, which is kind of a good thing. I'm in a weird state of mind about being here. It kind of feels like we're on a super long vacation and it's time to go home. But that's not going to happen for a while. There are a lot of things I love about being here, don't get me wrong. But, I have had a really hard time lately with homesickness. I miss my family and friends. I miss the U.S.. I cannot believe the things I took for granted. Skylar and I made up this little nickname for England...inconvenience land! Not all the time, but it seems like the British do everything the hard way. Everything is takes a lot more effort. This has just affirmed my belief that the United States is indeed the greatest country in the world. Even with a psycho president. But enough sadness....on to the good things! We've been to London twice since we've been here. We also took a trip to Dover to see the white cliffs and Dover castle. We also stopped and saw Leeds castle on the way. I can't describe in words how beautiful this country is. The history is fascinating. Dover castle totally took me back and made me feel like I was in some kind of fairytale! It was amazing. London is fantastic. There is always stuff to do and see. We went the first time by ourselves, which was scary, but we loved it. We figured out the bus system and how to get from place to place, which was the most important thing. The London tube got us from our station in to London and back. The second time we went to London was with friends. We definitely learned from our mistakes from the first London trip, so we got to really enjoy London the second time. We trying to plan some more places to go and things to see. There are sooo many. I am grateful that we get to have these experiences. I don't think it would have happened any other way.
