Living it Up in London: Italy, Six Months After: Part I
http://livingitupinlondon.blogspot.com/2012/02/italy-six-months-after-part-i.html
Sunday, February 5, 2012. Italy, Six Months After: Part I. Before the spring semester gets too crazy, I wanted to write about my Italy journey after all this time. It's the trip I took after I finished my three weeks in London. It's long, so I've made this into a two-parter. Italy, Part I. A nod to my favorite boss, Bebe, who had told me she loved it several years ago. What I remember best about Italy are the Australians! 8221; and I kid you not, “Mama-mia! 8221; I always thought “Mama-mia! Seen Lush Med...

Living it Up in London: Hampton Court and Heading Towards the End...

Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Hampton Court and Heading Towards the End. Today is the day that I finally felt our group's usual energy fizzle out. I've been wondering when that was coming. With several of our group members ill, and one having to go to the hospital today (feel better, Cassie! Hampton Court loans out these sweet tunics for you to wear around the grounds. I was the only one in my group to actually wear one longer than the photo op. Goes well with dresses! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Living it Up in London: Italy, Six Months After: Part II
http://livingitupinlondon.blogspot.com/2012/02/italy-six-months-after-part-ii.html
Sunday, February 5, 2012. Italy, Six Months After: Part II. Amalfi Coast and Rome. The last stop on our journey was Ravello, which is known for its cameo jewelry. I bought a mediocre calzone, watched a wedding procession, and bought a few souvenirs, while conveniently leaving my wallet at the shop. Luckily. I had just enough time to miss the group photo while I ran like hell back to the shop before the bus could leave. I’ve never sputtered so many “grazies! 8221; Hopefully they realized my gratitude.

Living it Up in London: The End of London
http://livingitupinlondon.blogspot.com/2011/08/end-of-london.html
Wednesday, August 3, 2011. The End of London. It's the final day of my official study abroad trip, and I'm really depressed about leaving. My classmates are at that point where missing home is getting the better of them. While I've been missing people back home more and more, I've also become completely accustomed to this new life. I had absolutely no. I'd get so attached to London after only three weeks. How do my friends who have studied abroad for three months or a year handle leaving? Not sure how mu...

http://londonbooktramp.blogspot.com/2011/08/princess-in-park.html
The Book Tramp in London. Eliza Lane, Summer 2011. Monday, August 1, 2011. Princess in the Park. Today we started our day with a run through the Diana, Princess of Wales Playground. This playground is one of several in London that is not open to adults unless they come with children. Fortunately they do open the gates between 9:30 and 10am for unaccompanied adults. Photo courtesy of Elizabeth Price. The park has a Peter Pan theme. Not pictured: a giant pirate ship. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Book Tramp in London: Insatiable
http://londonbooktramp.blogspot.com/2011/08/insatiable.html
The Book Tramp in London. Eliza Lane, Summer 2011. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Paris seemed to be all about Napoleon. The Arc de Triomphe, the restoration of Versailles, and many of the bridges across the Seine, are all attributed to him. So Paris = Napoleon. And, of course, public displays of affection. Today, those of us who were not sick in our flats traveled by bus and train to Hampton Court, the home of Henry VIII. Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived.". The annual provision of meat f...

The Book Tramp in London. Eliza Lane, Summer 2011. Saturday, July 23, 2011. Musicians can get licenses to perform for tips in the Underground. The license is free- it just takes an audition "to prove you're mad enough to play all day in a tube station," according to this guy. His saxophone is a 1959 Selmer Mark VI alto- almost identical to the 1962 horn that has been played by my daughter, my mother, and me. Also, you should know that it does not smell like pears. Tower Bridge, NOT London Bridge. The Tha...

The Book Tramp in London. Eliza Lane, Summer 2011. Saturday, August 6, 2011. Other than a final project, due on Monday, I have finished my multimedia program in London. On Thursday morning, I said good-by to my new friends, did all my laundry and moved to a hotel near King's Cross. For some spicy noodles and broth and then to bed. For the first time in three weeks, I didn't take a single photo. Near the Tower of London. Napping (her) and homework (me) occupied our early evening. Then we set out to ex...

The Book Tramp in London. Eliza Lane, Summer 2011. Saturday, July 16, 2011. I'm not a saver; I'm a spender. But London is an expensive. City In a restaurant tonight, a bottle of Coke was listed at £2.95. At today's exchange rate. That's $4.75. (I mentioned that this was a good time to kick a Coke habit, and got some concerned looks.) It gets even worse when you realize that:. There are never free refills,. Bread on the table will be charged to your bill unless you ask them to take it away, and. Consideri...
