I’m Ready to Leave
I have less then a week left in this country and I can’t wait to go home. Don’t get me wrong, I more than enjoyed my time here in the United Kingdom, but I miss the United States, with the exception of the politics. I miss my pets, my family, my friends, Rollins, my job…
Scotland!
When can I move to Edinburgh? It is absolutely stunning! There is so much history in the air you are swimming through it.

Munster
Something interesting I found while in Munster was how the town decided to memorialize the victims of the Holocaust. Usually when you think of memorials dedicated to the Holocaust you think about a giant tribute to all of the people who lost their lives during this time. For example, the ones in Washington D.C., New…
