The Untold Want

As it stands now, there are exactly 18 hours left in this amazing journey before I set off with my group to London – Heathrow for our flight home; 22 hours and 35 minutes until that flight goes wheels-up for JFK International Airport in New York City.  I think when it’s all said and done, I must have traveled almost 20,000 miles since January 8^th.

 

Go Gun

I know I don’t have that much time left - and I’ve got exams next week – but I had to take this morning to see some things that I’ve been meaning to see; things you can only see in the U.K.

I hope you've had a good day, I've had so many good days here...

As I sit here and write this, I'm enjoying lunch at one of my favorite places, "The Ledger Building," a J.D. Wetherspoons chain - it's a pub though - in Canary Warf in the East side of London.

It looked nothing like The Waldorf-Astoria for starters....just better

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the semester is really winding down...today though was a full schedule with a lot of stuff to do that needed to get done before I leave for the states.

When in Rome, do as...wait there are no more Romans...

Despite being one of the most randomly laid-out cities I’ve ever been in since coming to Europe, Rome was a great choice as the last trip for me to take.  I had no idea though it was on the worst possible weekend in college sports to go though.  The UConn Women lost to Notre Dame and the UConn Men defeated Kentucky – for the second time this season if I may add) in the Final Four.  I’m not going to sit here and say I had UConn realistically picked to go this far, but what transpired this weekend (sports wise) was one, big, surprise.

Permission to come aboard sir? Permission granted

I was a part of 3 day trips this past weekend (because I'm including Friday as the weekend for the record).  The one on Friday was kind of last minute if you could believe it, but I'm so glad I went.

Taking the Path Less Travelled

This past weekend I honestly believe I had the experience of a lifetime, climbing Mount Helvellyn in The Lake District near Plinth.  I also managed to go to St. Paul's Cathedral and the London Aquarium as well since I last posted too...
