Coming Soon!

Well, I have done a little bit of travelling without updating my blog, tsk tsk. Coming soon I should have a few wonderful posts about my time overseas in London. There will be a hostile hostel, academic references, lots of walking and tube riding, museums galore, gray days with my classmates, sunny days with Matt's Aunt Carol, tea at my bedside to wake up, more walking and tube riding, more museums, some shopping with decreased spending power, a trip on the London Eye, and getting out of Heathrow just in time. What fun! To whet your whistle, here are some pics of what's to come, this one is in Greenwich, where I stood in both hemispheres at once:

and then the classic Christmas image, the Holly and the Ivy in Hampstead Garden Suburb:

More to come soon! And by the way, Matt and I did make it back to Bangor, and onwards to Halifax back in August. From NYC we went on to one night in Boston, where we stayed with Jim and Charlene and they fed us a nice feast of burgers and a delicious brownie dessert. I think that was Matt's first meeting with Danny and Roxy and Claire, and i think he enjoyed it. heehee. Then we moved on to Portland, on the Downeaster. We had some Buddhist Monks with us on the train, one of whom was chanting near Matt for the ride. Mary Lou greeted us in Portland, and we got to walk around the Old Port with her and Carole, checking quite possibly every old map in the antique map store. Here is us walking around on the docks:

Carole and Mary Lou took us out to dinner at the floating restaurant, and i had a wonderful Lobster Ravioli. We then got to visit some more at their home with their cats, and then Pa came to give us a ride to Bangor for the final leg of our trip. A big thanks to all who took us in on our journey! August now seems like it is so far away, but we've got plenty of pictures and memories to remind us of a wonderful month and trip.
