Our group is headed over to Dublin tomorrow, so today is a free-day filled with laundry runs, post-office visits and re-packing. I have to say that I'm getting tired of re-packing my backpack all the time. It would be nice if I could just snap my figures and all the clothes that exploded out into the room would magically fold themselves and nicely configure themselves in my small pack. This morning I slept in, which was wonderful in itself, then ate some breakfast and took a long shower (knowing that there probably won't be many clean/good showers in the near future). We heard rumors that the Dublin and Belfast hostels are not clean, so many people are buying cheap Duvet covers to sleep in over there. I thankfully brought a sheet-liner that Grandma Maureen made (Thanks Grandma!), so I'll be safe from the gross beds. I'm sure I'll be writing about those hostels soon.
This week has been packed with tons of cool learning experiences. Our group went to the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the Winston Churchill museum, the Imperial War Museum, the U.S. Embassy (interview with ambassadors), interview with several members of Parliament at their offices, and the tower of London. So I've been overloading with information about the UK government and UK-US relations. Good stuff!
I posted a bunch of photos on facebook, so if you have access to that you can see them. Otherwise, I will post a couple more on this page.
I miss everyone very much, Lots of love, Giselle.
