So Long UK

I have had a great time these past couple weeks here in the UK. Both England and Scotland were amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better time. The grand finale was amazing. Last night I went to Hyde Park where Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow and Eric Clapton all performed. It was an amazing concert. Because I was there by myself, I managed to wiggle up to the front. I got some great shots and some video clips. :)

I am off to Paris now. I know it's summer and I'm supposed to be enjoying time off without students but I'm actually very excited to connect with one of my student's families on Tuesday. Maxime (for those of you who know him!) and his family will be in Paris on that day and I will be spending the afternoon/evening with them. I'm looking forward to seeing their familiar faces. Until next time....

Edinburgh

Edinburgh is amazing! The buildings, churches and statues are completely spectacular. I'm so glad I decided to come here. Everything is so scenic. Plus, people really do wear kilts here! They are selling them everywhere.
There are many things to do here. I'm off to go on a ghost tour, dungeon tour and visit the castle. Tomorrow I'm off to Loch Ness and the Highlands for a one day tour.
Anyway, hope you are all well!!!

England

This past week has been so much fun. Grant and I have been all over London. He's been an awesome tour guide. We've been lucky with weather (until now). I've been staying with him and his girlfriend at their place in Surrey which means we're outside Central London. This means, I've been on the tube A LOT. The trains can be a bit daunting but I'm finally getting used to it. We are currently on the south coast of England in Devon visiting some of their friends. It's lovely out here. I leave for Edinburgh on Monday for five days. I'm super excited for that.
This is the first time I've looked at a computer since Sunday morning. I have felt so disconnected! I hope you are all doing well. I've been thinking of everyone.

The Night Before

Bonjour Amigos,

I am trying out this note thing to see if I can successfully "blog." Thanks for all your well wishes. I'll be in touch after I land safely in London. I'm excited to see Grant (AKA- Captain South Africa for all your Pendola Folk ;) ). We'll post some pics later this week. I'll be spending the week in London. So think of me when you hear The Clash. :D

I won't have cell phone reception over there so email and Facebook are the two best ways to stay in touch with me. 

More later!

Cheers,

Carrie
