TRAVELING!!

I don't have much time but I just wanted to say that I love you all! London is So amazing and I am sad that I have to leave here. I have met so many amazing friends and have seen so many cool places. Things I will miss in London:
- my friends
- always having fun places to go and things to do
- having no worries, but having fun
- being completely spoiled and seeing shows all of the time!
- the Centre--and sharing a room with 6 girls
- walking around so much
- coming home at night and reading Mom's e-mails
- eating lots of treats
- Hyde Park--going for walks and going running there is my favorite

I will spending the last 2 1/2 weeks traveling over Europe. This is my travel itinerary so you will know where I am.

June 13-15 Athens, Greece
June 15-17 Santorini, Greece
June 17-21 Rome, Italy
June 21-25 Prague, Czech Republic
June 25-28 Dublin, Ireland
June 28-29 London, England
June 29 HOME!!!

I can't wait to see you all in just a few weeks! Sorry I've been so bad at posting lately. Our internet hasn't been very good so it's frustrating because everything takes forever to load. I can't believe that I am coming home so soon. It's wierd to think. I only have 17 more days in Europe.

I want to tell my family how grateful I am for their support and love. I look forward to my daily e-mails from my Mom and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my Dad. Thanks for all of the support that I have had. I love and miss you guys like crazy. When I get home, it's going to be such a fun summer because Erin will be in town and we will all be together. I am looking forward to seeing you all soon and I can't wait to tell you all about my adventures!

Brighton

More bus fun! Today is Wednesday...another field trip! Every week we jump in the bus with Tony (our bus driver) and go somewhere completely new in England. This is the back of the bus during BUS FUN (watching Harry Potter)!! Thanks to Kylie, she is the bus fun coordinator.

...and we're off!

First we drove to Brighton and went to the Royal Pavilion. I felt like I was in India because of what it looked like. It does not fit in with anything else in England!

Then we walked down to the Brighton Pier. This was my favorite part of the day!

The entire pier

The end of the pier had tons of rides and fun arcades to play

This is the beach that the pier came off of

I seriously was in heaven today! The weather was BEAUTIFUL and it was so much fun to just walk around on the beach and in the little beach town. It reminded me of being in California.
Then we jumped back on the bus and drove to Bodiam Castle. This is truely a castle because there was a mote and only one entrance to the bridge.
This is a view from the tower of the castle. Today was a lot of fun! I really am going to miss all of our weekly field trips when I get home.
