Ireland




We had a period of time this weekend for some free travel me and five other girls decided to go to Ireland, Dublin to be precise, we had an amazing time. We went to Dublin Castle, Trinity College, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and went to a dinner show that included Irish dancing and song. The next morning we woke up early and went to the coast to a town called Howth it was beautiful, we just walked around for a while down the piers and through the town and then we headed back to the Dublin Airport and back to London. Everything went really smoothly and overall it was a great trip.

Wales




Well we took a two day trip to Wales a week ago and I loved it and everything on the way there and back. Herfordshire Beacon (an old roman earthen fort) was amazing and so beautiful, the green of the hill was amaizing and I don't think that the pictures do it justice. we went to titurn abbey and we actually got to go down into an old coal mine called the big pit it was so fun I loved it!

What I have been up to since I got to London

I bet alot of you are wondering what happened to me, the answer is London happened! there is so much stuff to do here that I have had no time to update my blog. Anyway I will give you all a brief overview of what it is i have been doing. I have been going to alot of shows I went to Wicked the second night I got here, I have also been to The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miz, Mary Poppins, Billy Elliot, and on a random whim I went to Lord of the Rings the musical and was very pleasantly suprised! and I am going to Sound of Music tonight with my mom and dad who are in town. I also have tickets to the St. Petersburg Ballet's production of Swan Lake in November so I am looking forward to that. I have also been to many museums including the National Gallery, the British Museum, the Courtauld Gallery, and the Victoria and Albert. Every Wednesday as a group we all go somewhere outside of London we have gone to Blenheim Palace, The Cotswolds, this past week we actually took a two day trip to Wales. We have been to many old abbey's including titurn Abbey, Fountains Abbey, and Battle Abbey (sight of the Hastings in 1066). The second week we were here we went on a trip for 4 nights to northern England including the lake and peak districts. As you can see I have been a very busy girl and I am loving every second of it! I am heading to Ireland on Thursday for alittle free travel and I will make that the next thing I blog about hope you enjoyed hearing what I have been upto if you want to know more details just e-mail me!
