There was mizzle, drizzle or light rain all day. Not much fun for getting in and out of the car as we completed our battlefield car tour begun yesterday.

The fact that I loved my home more than most people, when in reality I likely had the worst room out of all exchange students, speaks loudly I think. To elaborate on that, I have to explain further my living situation, as in the end it was one of the most unforgettable aspects of my exchange. Many students ...
