A really great perk of being in the UK is that one of my oldest and dearest friends, Ms. Julia, Bischoff, is living here as well. We are on opposite sides of the country but we are in the same country! Julia and I met in high school when she came over as an exchange student from Germany. She has been like a sister ever since and I can’t describe out nice it is to simply pick of the tele and call her! We’ve visited twice so far – Tommy and I went down to Southampton for a few days and she came up to Edi for my 25th birthday!

In Southampton, I met her fiance, Miguel, a very charismatic Brasilian guy who has swept her off her feet. We also drove around the area and visited Stonehenge and saw a fresh crop circle just outside of Avebury. All very exciting!

For my birthday, Julia and I spent the day (it was sunny praise be!) out on the town and had a little lunch at a French bistro. That night, we went out for sushi with Julia, and Tommy, my roomates, Arianda and Joseph, and our friend Dave and then to a little Latin dance club we like called El Barrio. It was a great day all around!

I also want o put up some nature photos I’ve been taking. We go on a lot of hikes and nature expeditions and I have enjoyed using my macro “lense” to capture some wild beasts of the British wilderness!
