Last weekend Mike came for a visit and we have a wonderful time. It was very busy while he was here, I wanted him to be able to see as much as possible on his trip so we were able to make it to Parliament and Westminster Abbey (he did that one Thursday while I was in class), we saw the show Stomp, St. James's Park/Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, the Natural History Museum, Regent's Park and the London Zoo, and we walked by the Globe and St. Paul's Cathedral. I'm pretty sure he had a great trip, it was so great to see him and someone from home, although it made me realize how much I miss home and how ready I am to be with family and friends from home again.
I went to Leeds Castle and Canterbury this weekend. I love Leeds Castle, I want to live there and what did I love most about it? The grounds. They are BEAUTIFUL! We didn't get to spend very much time at each place because it takes a good 2 hours to get to Canterbury and then another 30 to get to Leeds Castle and then 2 hours to get back to London. The Cathedral at Canterbury was all I got to see but it was really impressive and fortunately we had nice weather. I am so beyond excited for Mom, Dad and Caity to come visit. I've been feeling pretty ready to come home lately so it will be nice to see you guys and get to show you around. By the way, we are going to see Harry Potter either Saturday or Sunday night, unless you all have already seen it. I've posted my pictures from Leeds Castle and Canterbury in my web
album and I can't wait to see you guys!!!

I'm sorry you had so little time to walk around in Canterbury as it was one of my favorite little towns when we lived in England--the 16th century timber homes almost all slightly leaning now and the river running through town with the river walk completely landscaped with flower beds.
Sorry to disappoint you but Dad and I went to see Harry Potter last weekend and enjoyed it. Caitlyn has not seen it however so go see it this week if you can or wait and see it with Caitlyn. We won't have time on Sat night as I made reservations for Tiroler Hut at 7:00 PM and we will be jet lagged out after that.
Laura,
Sorry we missed your call this week. I was really bummed. And I'm so jealous that we won't be coming to London this weekend. I know you all will have a wonderful time! We saw HP last weekend, too. You're going to love it! Can't wait to see you when you get home. Keep posting!
