Hello everyone!
The day has finally arrived! In about twenty minutes, my ride to Dulles will be here and take me to the airport! I am so looking forward to this trip and can't wait to see what tomorrow and the days after contain. I hope to learn an immense amount while taking in the European culture. First stop: London for three days. After that, I am taking a side-trip to Paris to meet up with that European viking, Emmie Derback. My Shakespeare program begins on June 26th for a further week in London and then the final week in Stratford-upon-Avon where Shakespeare was born. Further details on everything will be in the next post. However, once I get to London tomorrow morning, I plan on ditching my bags at hotel and going out to explore immediately. I'll decide on the plane ride what I want to do first. Regardless, I can't wait to get to London!
Until next time from London! Gimme that Buckingham Palace!
