Morning! This is a blog by two future art teachers who decided to travel to Europe to teach for a month. Natalie is from Louisville, KY, born and raised, who made her way to Bowling Green; Katie is a London girl, who met Natalie at Western Kentucky University. We`ve been friends for three years now, and this is our last adventure together before graduting in May. We're traveling with two other friends from WKU, Bethany and Holly.
And so our trip begins, after a crazy long day of airports, layovers, and trains, we thought we might not survive.
But we made it. All four of us. All alive. All contemplated collapsing on the train terminal.
Our only complaint is directed towards American Airlines and their lack of head-rest TV's. And their design plan for the window seat passenger when viewing the over head TV's.
Needless to say Katie did not view any films during the 7 hour flight to Manchester, and Natalie who can`t sleep on planes watched every film possible.
We met two lovely ladies from Liverpool who were eager to hear about our traveling plans. But not so excited when Katie asked them to get up so she could go to the 'loo' in the middle of the night. :)
The girls: Bethany, Holly, Natalie, and Katie |
Manchester, U.K. |
We were met with happy English faces at the train station in Long Eaton and carted off to our respective houses. We've gone 38 hours with zero sleep.
Our only goal today is to stay awake for as long as we can to fight the jet-lag.
With love from Derby.
And tomorrow folks, We will be in the brilliant city of Paris, eating baguettes and spending way too much money.
With love from Derby.
