Stratford-Upon-Avon June 19th I have really enjoyed Stratford-Upon-Avon. London was thrilling and busy, but I prefer a more peaceful atmosphere. I got to experience some of England’s famous rainy days. There was an abundance of vegetation and flowers. The buildings were brick and had lower ceilings. It reminded me of my love for the country …

My Food Journey

Connecting the Dots
Victoria and Albert Museum June 16th It is amazing how much history is preserved in London. The Victoria and Albert Museum contains pieces of art with a variety of backgrounds.

The Fringe Theatre Experience
Rainer, Arcola Theatre June 15th After our long journey to Kew Gardens, Isaac and I prepared ourselves for the trip to another fringe experience.

Healing Waters and Revolutionary Literature
Bath, UK June 4th I had an early day as our group journeyed to Bath. The main event was the ancient Roman Baths that have been preserved. The baths were formed because a natural spring flows there.

Rubens and Delaroche
The National Gallery May 31st Today I explored one of the greatest collections of art in the world.

I enjoyed weaving throughout all the interconnecting rooms although it was …
The Modern Museum
May 30th Today, I visited the Tate Modern one of the greatest modern museums in the world. Anyone who knows me can guess that this was not my favorite spot in London. Modern art holds very little inspiration or captivation for me but there were a few pieces that I stopped to ponder. The initial …
