  • Going to England .. Birmingham and London
  • Almost loosing our little baby sister on (or off) the train in London
  • Walking down the streets of Televiv Jerusalem late at night.... wondering why there were so many cats walking around... looking like they are thinking about rubbing up against my legs 
  • eating way too much galato 
  • sitting on the beach.. drawing in the sand.. and eating yummy food
  • playing with my family
  • spending the day in Nazareth.. learning new things about our Savior Jesus Christ 
  • rolling my pants up and walking in the Sea of Galilee... thinking about how I could have stayed there forever

Dear Blog.

I am sorry that I have left you alone for quite some time now.  I have definitely put you on the back burner lately.  And I am going to continue to do so for the next two weeks.  
Tomorrow morning I will fly out of beautiful San Diego to FLORIDA. I can hardly wait to meet up with my family there and just to be there.  It has been too long.  From there it will go something like this.

Birmingham England for a few days
Take the train to LONDON
Fly to Telaviv, Jerusalem
Visit Galilee
Off to Poland
Visit Auschwitz
come home.

I can't WAIT!!

I am taking two weeks off of school and it will be the greatest decision of my life up to this point.  I am in need of a MAJOR break. I have senoritas if you will.  Everyday it is harder and harder to get up in the morning.  There are a lot of factors that could be causing this struggle of mine.  But we won't get into those. This is going to be a trip of a lifetime and I am going to soak it all up!! 

Feelings I want to feel on this trip.
HAPPY
Grateful
Pain from laughter
Humbled
Excitement 
Feel closer to the Savior
Missing someone
Peace
Amazed
Relaxed

I can't wait to share my experiences where I feel all of these feelings. I can already check off a couple of them. But we will start at 6am tomorrow when I get on my flight! ttfn. (ta ta for now, mom)

xoxo
your european traveler.
