Stonehenge





Stonehenge was cool to see in person, but really, looking at abunch of rocks didn't hold our attention for too long after a full weekend of travelling. We tooks some random pictures and started playing "missionary tag" while waiting for the bus--such a blast!

Stourhead







I love love LOVED the massive grounds of Stourhead. It was a nature-lover's paradise.

Paris!





I LOVED Paris! It was the highlight of the whole trip for me thus far. It just felt magical to see the Mona Lisa and Eiffel Tower in person after having seen those images my whole life. Notre Dame, the Louvre, the D'Orsay and getting lost along the little back streets were all amazing. They do not mess around when it comes to pastries either; I was in heaven. I didn't feel guilty eating a crepe with nutella, a chocolate cream puff, and a baguette with chocolate chips all in one day--it's Paris after all (24 hour fitness here I come!). It was just a great day and I felt so happy/blessed the entire time. I am so lucky to be having this experience and I'm not particularly looking forward to it ending. I'm sure I'll look back at this time of my life with many fond and fun memories.

Ireland!






The actual city of Dublin isn't that great, but once you get into the countryside it's incredible. These pictures don't do it justice or even come close. We took a bus tour that went through the Wicklow mountains, valleys, and lakes. I'm touching the ancient sanctuary stone in one picture. I can't get over how gorgeous the natural scenery of Europe is; we are so blesssed to live in this world!

Crepes with the Girls


The food here is really good. Item #1 on the to-do list when I return to the States: join a gym!

Football Match





My two friends and I went on a little adventure trying to get into a huge soccer game (vs. USA) last week. It was a very random night, as the pictures portray. We weren't able to get into the game, but had fun nonetheless. We navigated our way through parts of London that we'd never seen before and took a bus ride through streets that looked like a cross between Tiajuana and Stratford-upon-Avon.
