Home Sweet Home!

A big hello from Canada at last!!

This will be my last entry in this blog. Looking back on my trip I realize how much of an amazing trip I had. I experienced things I never would have imagined. I met great people, I learned about myself and I grew, I got to see the pure beauty of this world, and I had fun.

If you asked me what my favorite thing or place was I don't think I could tell you and pick one. However when I think of each country I would say: Greece was where I grew the most on an individual level, Ireland was the most beautiful and I enjoyed sight seeing, England was the most fun and I had a great time with friends.

I'm sure that in a few months I'll be looking back on this blog and saying "WOW, I miss it." Currently though it feels so good to be laying in my own bed writing this and how true the saying " There's no place like home" is to me right now.

These small entries, insights, and photo's of my trip are such a small portion of what I actually experienced and learned. It's hard because I will never be able to fully explain it to anyone since I was on my own. But I do honestly appreciate all the support and love each of you gave me while I was on my trip. It was so great to be able to update you on my journey.

I have come a long way in 5 weeks and I will always look back on this trip and I will smile.

Thanks for sharing with me everyone!

Cheers,

Maryse

London, England
















Hello!


I'm not sure how many people are still reading my blog but its going to come to an end very soon. My trip is just about over. I arrived in London England today and this is where I will fly home from.


I had an amazing time in Central England. As I mentioned earlier I spent most of my time in the countryside which was great. I spent a full day in Nottingham yesterday, I went to the Nottingham Castle and the oldest pub in England. It was a really nice day to see the city. The day before that I went to Wollington Gardens, Museum, and Deer Park. It was an absoutely beautiful museum which was actually the home to a family long ago. Inside the museum is a whole bunch of life size animals that have been stuffed and they look real. The man who use to live their devoted his life to nature and animals as a study. It was really neat and I have some cool pictures.


Last night my friends (the ones who I originally met in Greece) and I had a big poker night at the farm, we set up the table in one of the barns and played poker and cards all night. This was so much fun. I enjoyed their company so much and I'm so thankful for the time spent in and around Nottingham.

This trip has truly been amazing and I have enjoyed it so much. However I must say I'm really looking forward to going home, being with my family, catching up with my friends, and sleeping in my own bed. ha I will update my blog at least once more for a final look back on my trip.

Can't wait to see you all back home.
