May 4, 2011 My last day in Paris started when I woke up this morning and I used all the packing skills I learned from my dad to make my backpack as efficient as possible—after all, this morning was dedicated to souvenir shopping.

Today is December 8, the anniversary of John Lennon’s death. This year it also happens to be World Choral Day (and I’m in a choir, so you can see how that would appeal to me). Adding to my list of super fun times, we sang and recorded a choral version of John Lennon’s Happy X-Mas (War is Over) at the request of The Beatles Story … Continue reading Today is December 8

As soon as we got the train an announcement came … Continue reading The Day of a Daughter’s Wedding
April 28th, 2011 – From one city to another I left York at 5:21 PM. I spent the beginning of the day doing final tidying of my room. Sharon (our landlord) was supposed to inspect my room so I could get my deposit back (I planned to the money toward postage on the giant box I packed). She sent me a text message saying that … Continue reading End of Days – Leaving England
Day 29! There was some kind of large event going on in the middle of London. I got stuck in the middle of it. Continue reading A Royal Occasion
