Travel Mania!

If you've been wondering where I've been, check out my new slideshow called "Fun with ESD Coursemates" for some photos of our time in the Southeast of the England in the area of Cornwall. We spent 4 days in the sunshine going to the Eden Project, China Clay and Tin mining country, and spending lots of time on the bus traveling the 8 or so hours to and from Cambridge! It was a great time to get to know my coursemates even better. We had a lot of laughs.

Today is my last day in Cambridge for a few weeks as I get ready to go to Portugal, Spain and France for Easter Break with two girls from my course! We start in Lisbon, then head to the beach in southern portuguese area of Faro. From there we make our way along the southern coast of Spain, stopping in Sevilla for Semana Santa festivals, Arcos, Granada, Valencia, and Barcelona. We then head to Avignon in Southern france for some great wine and food.

As of the past few days, it looks like I will get to meet my Grandma Maxine, Dad and brother Matt in Paris on 20th!! I am so excited to see them and be apart of my Grandma and Dad's first trip to Europe. If all works out with my course assignments, I may be joining them in Italy too. Whew! Its a tough life, but somebody's has got to live it! :) I am so greatful to have this experience, its a dream come true!!

Let me know if you have any 'must sees' for any of the places I am visiting so I don't miss them! I would love to hear your traveling stories too. :)

Wow! Sounds like so much fun I can't wait to see pics. It is going to be great to travel with your family- so many memories. I'm glad you got the package, hope you enjoy the goodies and think of our friendship when you drink tea. Also on the way to church this morning I saw a redhead riding her bike with a cute hat on...it could have been you and made me miss you tons! Love ya girl.

Oh, I'm so excited for you! How awesome that you're going to get some family time too. I'm living vicariously through you right now, it's almost too much to handle. Not that I don't love my life, but the south of France..ahh! Have a great time, I hope that you get to celebrate our Savior's resurrection in an incredibly beautiful old church somewhere. Love you!
