Londontown! (and Paris and Roma too)

Ello from Londontown! Hope you all are doing so well!

      So I have been in London for about a week now and I love this place. Even though it rains unexpectedly and it is sometimes cold, walking around a city with so much history and culture just fills me with so much joy.

The best part is that my cousin is here
 right now going to LSE and I've been able to hang out with her. We usually see each other maybe once every 3-5 years and it's just amazing that we get to walk Oxford street and catch up on life. Who would've thought? Major Blessing indeed :)  
                                                                  Travels: My mom and I arrived in London on the 21st.
We toured central london a bit, went to some markets and then my parents and I went to Paris 

for three days and then Rome for 3.5 days. Both the cities were amazing and I cannot wait to go back! I loved that I got to practice my french in Paris and look at the beautiful city from the eiffel tower and visit the Louvre and Versailles.

      In Rome, we saw St. Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel, Pantheon, Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain. They all were amazing, but I think my favorite was the Colosseum. It's from 80 AD and so much larger than I ever thought it would be. Also, the Pizza and freshly made Pasta were to die for!

     Random fun fact: The weekend that we were in Rome was the start of Advent so there was a celebratory prayer at St. Peter's Basilica wiz ze pope! I saw the old guy (he's darling) from about a foot away and even though the service was all in Latin, I enjoyed attending it. We came back last Sunday and have been touring London since. Big ben, House of Parliment, Westminister Abbey and the London Eye were all great. I am looking forward to seeing the Palace and then hopefully a play before we leave next tuesday!

     My travels are quickly coming to an end, but I could not have asked for a better 3 months. Living in South America and then traveling around Europe with my family is such a blessing. God is so good.

love you all

3 weeks notice

Hi guys! I am so sorry that I have not kept up with my blog as well as I should have. Anyways, 3 weeks ago I left the wonderful Buenos Aires Argentina. It was sad, but I am so blessed/glad to have had such an amazing experience. I will never forget all the fun adventures that I had there, all the great people I met in the house and outside and of course my wonderful students.

A special thank you to Candida. Girl, this trip was amazing mostly because you were right there with me sharing this adventure. I could not have done without your sweet presence, funny quotes, adventurous spirit and most importantly your love for God. I cannot wait until our next trip :)

Also to my girls, Remee (hermana), Justine, Rachel, Emma, Breezy, Debbie, Becky, Leah, Ashley, Michaela, vivienne ya’ll are amazing! I miss you girls so much!

Grace and Peace
