In Holland, Lindsay and I got to spend time with my family's foreign exchange student that we had in high school! She is married and has two precious kids - so cute! We had a wonderful weekend with them in central Holland. One of the days, Lindsay and I ventured to Amsterdam - an eye opening place, to say the least!
We stayed in England for about a week. We stayed with some wonderful friends in London and other good friends in a small town north of London. We saw so many sites and places it would take several pages to fill you in!! We did get to see where Shakespeare grew up - Stratford-Upon-Avon - it was a great place to visit! Hiking through the country side of England as well as seeing the history of London was a lot of fun.
Ireland was absolutely beautiful! We were near the West Coast in a town called Killarney. We toured around the Ring of Kerry and were blown away by the green we saw everywhere we went! We were very fortunate to stay with my best friend's family - we just had a ball, and they were such great hosts!
Lindsay and I are now back in Texas getting settled, and very much looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. She is starting a masters degree in Counseling, and I am looking for a new job!
Our trip was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I think when we look back on all that we did, we will be so happy we took a chance and traveled. What a thrill it was... and what an opportunity not too many people get - we are both grateful and humbled by our traveling experience. In the end, I am just very pleased we had such a great time with no major health issues. Thanks for reading our blog!
God bless,
JB and Lindsay
