Traveling London.

Three weeks ago my girlfriends Mia, Katie, and I visited a friend of mine who lives in London and toured the city. Perfect weather and sunny the whole time, London was more than I could have imagined!

Los Viveros y Jardines de Monforte

For my Cultures and Civilizations of Spain class last Wednesday we visited two historical gardens that have been in Valencia for hundreds of years originally built for royals. The first garden is named Los Viveros.

My roomate in comparison to a flower pot. Spain likes everything big and grand.

The second garden is Jardines de Monforte.

This garden is famous for a giant pond in the shape of a lily pad.
