Quick Update of the Week!

This one will be quick, I'm thinking bullet notation quick...just a quick outline of the past week's happenings to keep everyone informed!

(1) Classes finished Tuesday! I cannot believe I'm done already...I guess it is time to study...this can probably wait till I get back from exploring Europe!

(2) Aron went on a tour of Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock & Castle Combe and loved it! Well that might be an over exaggeration, but he did really enjoy it and highly recommended it. 


(3) Enjoyed an Italian night dinner with some friends. I made a chicken alfredo pasta...it was very yummy!! I cannot wait to eat real Italian food from Italy in less than a week :)


(4) Went to London and toured around. Saw the Tower of London....the Crown Jewels are very impressive and worth the admission fee. Saw Wicked...really liked the musical...it was very fun seeing a production in London. Ate a traditional British meal with Aron at a local pub in town and finally toured around Westminster...wish I had actually went into the abbey...maybe next time. There are already camera crews in place for the Royal Wedding! 


(5) Finally went on the walking tour around Bath! It was phenomenal and I learn't so much about the history of Bath...a must do if you every come to Bath...plus it's free...so it's always worth it!


(6) Explored Cheddar Caves and Gorge. We took a three mile hike around the gorge...I thought it was going to kill me...I am so out of shape! In the end, I made it out alive  and although my legs are a little sore, I am very happy I completed the hike....which began with 274 steps up a giant hill! The hike was beautiful and since it was a clear day, I am pretty sure I could see into Wales. The caves were alright, but nothing too amazing...probably could have been skipped. 


(7) Leaving in approximately 18 hours for the trip of my lifetime...at least thus far!!! I will be in Spain till April 28th, Italy till May 2nd, Paris till May 5th, and finally Ireland till May 9th. The trip should be amazing and I am so excited :)


This is all for now...I'll report back in mid May!
