Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace One of my absolute favorite places in England was conveniently about five minutes from Kingston by bus. Hampton Court Palace was built beginning in the 1500s for King Henry VIII, but was added on to in the late 1600s by William III, who intended to make it rival Versailles (source). This combination […]
Windsor Castle
Allllright. It turns out that pretty much from the start of my study abroad experience in London, my camera’s calendar was way off. Therefore, I probably will not be posting on the exact days that I took the pictures last year, as I had hoped to do, but rather around the time and day that […]
Brighton Trip
Traveling to London was such a great experience, but it wasn’t all fun and games. Because I was there as a university student, there was also some work to it. I had classes and homework, and couldn’t just spend all of my time wandering around towns and palaces and stuff. 😉 I took four classes […]
Lovely London
Hello, London! September 15, 2011 Another great thing about being an international student at Kingston was that we had the opportunity to get a guided tour of London that ended with a lunch and a drink at a pub! Our guide, who was actually from Cincinnati, Ohio, was very knowledgeable, and really focused on the […]

New England Trip 2010, Days 7 and 8
Throughout the last two days of our vacation, we traveled down the East Coast, from Maine back to the Boston area. Day 7 We stopped at a few roadside markets. Saw a couple of cute bed & breakfasts and other buildings. Stopped in Camden, ME, for some sightseeing and a quick lunch. Dad got a […]
New England Trip 2010, Day 6
Day Six of our east coast trip took us to Acadia National Park in Maine. It was unbelievably gorgeous – these pictures don’t do it justice. Through the picture-taking and scenery-enjoying, I was on the lookout for either a moose or a beaver. I didn’t see either, but still experienced one of the most amazing […]

New England Trip 2010, Day 4
The fourth day of our trip was also the last day in Boston. We spent the morning wandering around Little Italy, which was so much fun. There were tons of little shops to poke into with amazing pastries, cheese, meats, and breads inside. Of course, most of them were not allergy-free, but it’s still fun to […]
New England Trip 2010, Day 3
Our final full day in Boston included a visit to Harvard University, which had a beautiful campus. After coming back from Harvard, we just walked around Boston for a while… …then met one of my dad’s old friends, Charlie, back at the Black Rose for dinner. After dinner, we were given a tour of the city, […]
