My Adventures in Europe!!!

Well it happened my dreams have come true I went to Europe! I left on April 23st and got back home May 15th.
On Monday the 23rd of May I had my first plane ride from SLC to Detroit.
So for my first plane ride it was an adventure. The plane had some difficulties, we started going then the lights went out and the power shut off. At first I thought this is what suppose to happen because I had no clue- but when the people around me who had flown before said this had never happened to them. This was a little nerve raking. Then the landing came... it was horrible, the people around me said it was the worst they have ever experienced. The turbulance gave me butterflies and kind of made me nausious. What a great adventure!!


LONDON!!!
Here's just a few pictures.... there are much, much more- I might add some more later. But here's London!
London Bridges falling down...

That's the closet I could get to the guard. I couldn't find one that I could take a picture with. :(
Doctor Who?

Well that's just a few pictures of my adventure to Europe!!! It was such a great experience. I would have loved to stay longer but it's great to be back to familiar things. I love America and that we have free bathrooms, fresh water, washing machines and clean beds- I really appreciate all the small things now!
Never been so happy to see this sign.
