There is nothing like traveling outside your comfort zone. You find a person inside of you that you didn't know existed; this person that yearns for a deeper understanding of humanity, or in my case maybe just tall men with british accents {good thing Jared can spew out a good tally-ho and cheers every now and then}. I also found that my love for gelato at Harrod's and a good starbar could puff out my cheeks real quick, but the weight gain was all worth it to experience that country at it's finest. And atleast I pretended to work it all off during runs in Hyde Park.
oh, and here's this tan stud of a missionary
We'll be back, Mexico and UK! Just you wait!
Those pictures sure do show what a good time you had in London! And that's one handsome missionary too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pictures, memories you will have with you forever!!!

ReplyDeleteOh aren't you glad that you traveled? I got to go to Europe a few times when I was younger and it was THE best thing ever!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a monumental time in y'alls lives! I'm so jealous of you being able to go to the UK! I'm saving up to study abroad now, and I cannot wait!
ReplyDeletei've never been to london or paris, and i'm especially dying to go to paris!!! i visited italy and greece during college and india just a few years ago . . . i LOVE travel and yes, going outside your comfort zone is a wonderful way to experience new things and learn more about yourself!

ReplyDeletethis looks like so much fun, i wish i would have did the study abroad program i had looked into when in college, but work interfered with it...basically if i went i would have lost my job and i needed my job for another year while finishing up my last year at school.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so vibrant, I can tell that was a truly happy time for you with your friends. My husband served in Argentina and I would love to take the kids and visit there someday. Hopefully we can make it happen.

ReplyDeleteHow amazingly fun to have studied abroad!!! Those are the most amazing experiences, right? Love the pictures with your friends. My hub went to So Africa and I went to France on our missions and so true that those experiences and cultures become so much of who you are!
ReplyDeleteI'm so honored to have made it on the blog. Not so glad to be reminded of the 15 pounds I gained in London. But it was worth every cadbury egg and pastry!! Miss you Ken!!!
