These are some of my favorite pictures that I took:

I will be leaving on June 30 and returning July 27th.  I was so tempted to extend my stay and go up to Beijing.  I've never traveled to Asia so I was a little nervous about being there by myself.  Not that I'm ever really afraid of being by myself but it could get really expensive/crowded with the Olympics. I'm bummed I won't get to see a lot of the bigger places like the Great Wall, Forbidden City or the Terra cotta Warriors.  Maybe next time.  

We went to Loch Ness but didn't see any large swimming monsters in the loch.

Westminster Abbey is my favorite site to see in London.  Even though there are just a lot of famous people buried there, it is so awesome to think of the history that has taken place in that building.

London is probably one of my favorite places on this planet!  I could totally move there- I think I'm really British and was just born on the wrong continent.
