From Idaho With Love, Molly

I got up at 7:30 so I could make the 9:30 meeting time. The weather outside was absolutely gorgeous. It was London saying good bye to us. We walked to Kensington Palace, I didn't know it was so close. Everyone was hanging out around the park and it was like a true London park. I loved the atmosphere. The palace was under a lot of construction though. So the outside wasn't that nice. Then we walked up to the door. The actual house was really pretty. We entered and I was a little surprised. There was a large tree in the main lobby. It was kind of weird. It wasn't like any of the other palaces I’ve been too. It also kept mentioning the 7 princesses and their secrets. I was really confused on what we would be doing. We got a map and then a pencil to write down the hidden names and then we needed to ask the people about the princesses. It seemed really hokey. I wanted a legit palace feel. We continued on and there were Periwinkle walls and I was just plain confused. It just seem...

Today was our free day in Ireland, though we had to be back at the hotel at 4:30 for our flight back to England. I woke up at about 8am so I could have one last amazing breakfast. The Hilton provided some great food. I then went upstairs to try and figure out what I wanted to do that day. I wanted to go to Titanica, the exhibit on the Titanic but according to the map it was far away. I really didn't want to walk a long way and risk not getting back on time. Later I would see it wasn't far at all. That didn't make me happy. I had a good day even without seeing it. Andrea and I discussed what to do for awhile. Laura, Andrea, and Danielle wanted to go shopping. I decided to join them. At twelve we made our way downstairs and checked out of the hotel. I was sad so see it go, but also excited to leave because it didn't have free internet. We started to walk toward Victoria Square. It was absolutely glorious in the day time. The sun was shining and warm. It was a perfect day....

At the first castle the view was so amazing Woke up at 7:00am after a rather uncomfortable night of tossing and turning. I got up and got ready for the day. Lets just say I didn't try really hard to look good. I already knew it would be a windy and rainy day, so why put so much effort into it. Plus I really wanted to get to breakfast before everything was taken. It was so good; the best meal I've had since being here. Plus I got a hot shower last night! So nice, I can't wait for my shower tonight. After a wonderful breakfast were I got: hashbrowns, fruit, muffin, and a potato bread thing, we went off to our rooms to finish getting ready for the day. We all met in the lobby at 5 minutes to 9. Then we got on the swanky bus with Ray as our tour guide. He was so much fun! He was funny, and had the best voice. Unfortunately his voice was so soothing that I fell asleep for ten minutes. He knew so much. I was wishing I brought my notebook so I could take notes on the informatio...
