Today my friend, Sam, arrived in London after a long flight from Milwaukee. Sam and I first met at the beginning of freshman year. We had both tried out for the club volleyball team at Marquette, and just a few weeks after making it, we both quit too. Ever since then, Sam and I have been best friends!
To my surprise, Sam was bursting with energy when I met her back at my dorm. Having been her first time out of the country, I could see why the jet-lag had not set in yet. After dropping off her bags we headed right for the tube station to visit some popular sights. Katie and I decided to get off at a different stop than we normally do and we ended up in a entirely new part of the city we had never been to. It was exciting for both us and Sam!

The day was perfect. We got around to all the big sites, treated ourselves to a nutella crepe, and ended our walk around the city with a pint of Strongbow cider. After a much needed "catching-up" session we made our way back to the dorm to make ourselves some dinner and tune into the most recent "One tree hill" episode.
Tomorrow we leave for a three-day trip to Amsterdam. Rather than flying, we are going on the trip through "International Friends," which is a travel company for students. The trip includes transportation to Amsterdam (via coach bus & ferry), housing, free breakfast, and admission into Ann Frank's house.
It should be an amazing trip, so stay tuned :)
<3 Katie
