... the coronation chair that everyone has used since 1308. On the audio tape we heard the organ and the Abbey boys’ choir.

Each hour they stop for a minute of tradition of prayer.

The abbey was founded in 960 by the Benedictines. The original building has been added to, changed and expanded over the years to its present state.

Mum and Dad you are fab!!! - we owe you big time! We arrived at the airport looking like we had just endured the 15hr flight (sleep was at the top of the agenda, after ...

Looking back...across the pond!

... up going on a two year honeymoon because the author's soon to be wife left him at the altar. So, that has motivated me to remember my past year by putting together pictures, my personal journal entries, and the ridiculously emails I sent to those back home (most of which were copied and pasted from Sean. Thanks roomie). So here are just a few things I've learned from my year abroad (generally speaking, I'll ...

... us back to Paris that evening! Good thing he didn't. Since we had such a good time we were late picking up our bags from the hotel and therefore late for our train. (The underground system being ridiculously slow didn't help either!). So we missed our train and had to beg to be put on the next train for free-they ended up doing it but with a lot of attitude.

Its actually pretty serious and when you can buy alcoholic beverages cheaper than a coke, it explains why! 4 ...

... symptoms. You can use the Bodymind Awareness Test to check how good you are at reading the language of Bodymind. The wisdom of Bodymind consists in picking up information about the experiences we are having and then sending emotional signals through to us to tell us what to do about them. Different emotions require different actions. For example, sadness can be a call to seek comfort from other people, fear a signal to take steps to raise confidence, and anger a signal ...

Transfer to London

... true for cyclists. They operate on a whole set of rules all their own, and I think I would need to actually hop on a bike and try it to truly understand it. I'll save that experience for the next trip. It is claimed that the bicycle population doubles the human one in Amsterdam, and looking around, I believe it. The city is fairly flat, so the landscape is highly conducive to this mode of transportation. As I mentioned before ...

London, Day 1

... few drinks. Skynards "Sweet Home Alabama" came on and everyone shouted and cheered. I thought only folks from Jacksonville did that since they band is from our city. At the spur of the moment I wanted to go see Big Ben and Parliament all lit up. Greg, Angie, and Fida joined me. By the time we made it there we only had a few minutes before the last tube of the night came. As soon as we emerged from the station the massive ...
