England

Since I last wrote, I have been doing a lot of traveling. I was in the US for Christmas and had a great time visiting with my family. It was especially nice to spend some time with my grandparents who I hadn't seen in a while. Then I came back to Germany and moved into a new apartment which I love! But most exciting, I went to England for the first time. I spent the first three days there at the annual meeting of the British Phycological Society. Then I played tourist in London for a few days.



I saw my first red carpet premier! Daniel Craig is there I swear!

Then I went to Newcastle and spent a few days with a very nice Scottsman. I had a personal guide around the English and Scottish countrysides. I met a man who had a dispute with a real live Lord and saw the spot where Thomas the Ryhmer fell in love with the Queen of the Fairies. It was all so very romantic!
