Let me just start off by saying that it has been a year and a half since my student teaching. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel overseas to Heidelberg, Germany to do my student teaching on Patrick Henry Army Base (now closed) at Patrick Henry Elementary School in first grade! It was such a blast! I worked with the most incredible people and was able to travel to some amazing places. I had been blogging while overseas to share my travels and some photos, but as the semester wore down so did my blogging. Then, once stateside again, I immediately started searching for jobs and landed one teaching first grade! After getting swept into my first year of teaching- where I was promptly switched into fourth grade a month into the year- I never ever got around to finishing sharing about my time abroad. Well, now it is fall break of my second year teaching (new district, new school, back to first grade) and I have things much more under control! I think that it's time I finished sharing about living in Germany for four months, so here we go!
For spring break myself and another intern went to jolly old England! We visited London, Bath, the Cotswolds, and then went back to London. It. Was. AMAZING!!!! Here is the first part of our trip where we spent some time out and about in the glorious city of London!
We rode around on a double decker bus to orient ourselves with the city, saw the major landmarks, walked through some of the parks, and saw Wicked! It was gray and cold and we were loving every minute of it. Our hostel was in central-ish London so we were really close to everything! It was a really quick two days, and I really was just so in awe to be in a the city of my dreams that I didn't take a ton of pictures. Other than Prague, London is my very favorite city! I think it goes Prague, London, Chicago. I have fantasized about going to England ever since I was a kid, and it was just such a dream come true to get to spend a week exploring different parts of the country! I would live there in a heart beat.
Cheers!
