I have not spent a single weekend alone in Winchester essentially since I have been here. Since Oxford and the third London trip, I have traveled to Ireland, Stonehenge, the Isle of Wight, and London and additional two times. On top of my travels, I have been buckling down with my school work as well (and that's not just to put my parents' minds at ease!). School here is very different, and it's not in my favor.
So. Ireland, the land of Leprechauns, Braveheart, P.S. I Love You, and even Harry Potter. The landscape was stunning and breathtaking and the locals were a blast. No, I didn't drink Guinness and I definitely didn't see a leprechaun. However, I did see some deadly cliffs and had a close encounter with heaven.
Just kidding. I'm actually standing in that picture. Despite my sick sense of humor, the cliffs were beautiful and so were the castles. Nightlife in Dublin was terribly pricey but the time of my life. To say the least, I miss Ireland and wish I could have spent more than a mere two days there.
I truly don't have much to say about Stonehenge, other than it was quite creepy and honestly made me uneasy. It was though, amazing to actually see a wonder of the world, as I stood as so many others have, pondering, "Why are these here?!".
It was also bitter cold and windy. So chilly that (me of all people) I had to put my camera away and warm my wind burned fingers.
The Isle of Wight was not much unlike Stonehenge in terms of the bitter cold. But it was an incredible weekend away with my friends.
Everything like anywhere in England was beautiful, old, breathtaking, and just marvelous to me.
LONDON! My favorite city in the world. We went twice, once to see Wicked, once just because. I now know the Tube lines by heart, I say lift rather than elevator, and Big Ben and Parliament seem to to call my name.
Next post coming... NOW!
