Both Jaclyn and my Dad scolded me for not updating my blog enough.
Well, the truth is... nothing exciting has happened really! I have had a cold for the past two weeks (slightly getting over it now --- which I am solely contributing to the fact that I fixed my good luck whale necklace that had been broken since the night before I got pneumonia) and a lot of my classes that I've been teaching have been hellish yr 5s. Two sundays ago, Monica Bao and i went to the Imperial War Museum (toured the WWI, WWII, and Holocaust exhibits) and I really found that interesting and enjoyable. That was my kind of history! And then on Monday night, I went to a pub quiz night at one of our locals (The Fox and Firkin) with Monica, Chris (he got here on Sunday), Bao, Steve Topp and his gf Karen. Btw, I would like to shout a internet CONGRATULATIONS to Steve and Karen who are expecting their first child! Crazy! The pub quiz was fun but very UK-centric and therefore we came in dead last (our name was "and in last place..." because we figured as much). I hope to continue going back there though, I really enjoyed it! The trivia / Jeopardy dork in me loved it!!
But now.... the next 16 days.... they will not be boring. There WILL be posts (hopefully every other day at least!) because..... I AM FINALLY GETTING SOME TRAVELING DONE! I'm going to Italy and Eastern Europe! In like 10 minutes, I'm heading over to the hotel airport (we grabbed a room for the night because our plane ride is freaking at 6 am). I'm going with six other girls, two of whom (lisa and kristin) I know from Mac. Monica and Chris are meeting up with us in Rome on Tuesday. Our plan of attack for Italy is:
Pisa -> Florence -> San Gimignano -> Venice -> Murano/Burano Islands -> Rome -> Vatican city -> Naples -> The Amalfi Coast!
Then on the 10th, Lisa and I are saying bye to everyone else, hopping on a plane and heading to Eastern Europe!
Budapest, Hungry -> Vienna, Austria -> Bratislava, Slovakia -> LONDON!
Should be a whirlwind 16 days! See you in Italy!
