Spring Break

It would be safe to say that exotic food in any foreign country is a big draw for anyone looking to travel internationally. I’m sure that when most people think of eating in another country they think of exotic dishes and meals that will knock their socks off. This would be no exception. When we…

I am not much of a wine person, but I can tell you that Mrs. Paula has some very good-tasting wine. The day at the vineyard was incredible along with her wines. We tried three different kinds, a white wine called viognier, and two reds Reserva Cabernet Franc and Reserva Tannat Viognier. I was partial…

The beginning of the best day of the trip started with the bus pulling into El Pariso with horses being saddled. I was excited to see Jose’s breeding program and just what kind of horses they had because I have grown up with horses. I’ve never seen any criollos before, so I was interested to…

From the beginning of any discussion of the trip, we were told, “You need to start eating more beef to make sure your stomach is fine on the trip.” Well, I’d be lying if I said this didn’t make me a tad bit nervous. Many questions filled my head making me wonder what the food…

I never thought I would go on a study abroad trip. I hadn’t even been west of Alabama, let alone gone out of the country. I’m not one of those people who likes getting outside of their comfort zone and trying a bunch of new things. However, the semesters prior had all been full of…

The first full day we were in Dumfries, we were supposed to go to the primary school and attend their assembly. We were going to experience that and then get a little tour of the school and figure out the plan for everyone teaching a lesson. Because of the Corona Virus and all the unknown…

London! We left Atlanta around 6:45 PM and landed in London around 7 AM. The flight was really long, and I only managed to get about two hours of sleep the entire flight. Food on a plane is a bit strange, but surprisingly not that bad. Once we got to London, we went straight to…

The few weeks before our trip I was a nervous wreck. I was trying to make sure I was packing everything I needed without over packing. We were told to take a hiking backpack as our suitcase. At first, I was upset about this, but I was so thankful for it. It was so much…

The top item on my list of things to see in Scotland was a Scottish Highlander, since they are one of my favorite cows. Marlyn and I were able to see a few from the window on the train ride to Scotland, and I was super excited about that- probably too excited. We were able…

We landed in London around 7:00 a.m. We got to see the sunrise as we got off the plane and onto a bus that took us into the airport. We took the underground to the hotel to freshen up after being on the plane for eight hours. After we took our stuff to our rooms…
