I&#8217;ve been to places I&#8217;ve always wanted to go, and find it hard to believe that I&#8217;m actually here. On the first day, I walked around London near Trafalgar Square, and took a ride on The London Eye. As my pod was at the top of the Eye, I just thought to myself, <em>I&#8217;m really here.<\/em> Yesterday, I took a long trip up to Lyme Park to visit the house where the Colin Firth version of &#8220;Pride and Prejudice&#8221; was filmed. In the film, the house is known as &#8220;Pemberly,&#8221; or Mr. Darcy&#8217;s house. I took a tour of the vast mansion, which was quite maze-like, and strolled the grounds, which were stunningly beautiful, with fabulous views in all directions. By the time I got back to my hotel (after getting lost not once, but twice) I was exhausted but feeling blissful.<\/p>\n<p>Today I spent the morning leaving the hotel, traveling to my host family&#8217;s house, and getting settled in. The host family is warm and gracious, and I couldn&#8217;t be any happier with my roommate, Mei, who is a doll. Oh, and on top of that, I&#8217;m still in London with three weeks of adventures ahead of me! Somebody pinch me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Big-Ben.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-50\" alt=\"Big Ben\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Big-Ben-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Big-Ben-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Big-Ben-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Big-Ben-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00581.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-51\" alt=\"DSC00581\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00581-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00581-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00581-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00581-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00587.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-52\" alt=\"DSC00587\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00587-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00587-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00587-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00587-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00588.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53\" alt=\"DSC00588\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00588-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00588-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00588-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/DSC00588-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Lyme-Park.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54\" alt=\"Lyme Park\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Lyme-Park-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Lyme-Park-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Lyme-Park-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/london-2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2014\/07\/Lyme-Park-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike the rest of the group, I have been in London for two days now, and am having the time of my life.
