on the move for the last time.....

So....I'm leaving Wales in a few hours for the busy streets of London, bringing my journey to an end. When I get home, I'll try to piece together the last few weeks of my trip on this website for all of you I neglect with regard to emailing. This last week has been really nice and relaxing, as I've been staying with my second cousin Iain and his wife Anne (and family) in Bridgend, Wales (just about 20 mins out of Cardiff). They've been absolutely wonderful to me and have shown me around this area, in addition to letting me just relax in their home. For that, I really have to thank them, because I think I really needed it!
Staying in my last hostel tonight and tomorrow night, before crashing on the floor of a few people I met in San Sebastian for the last two nights. Then....home! I honestly can't believe it's been 4 months already. In some ways, it seems an absolute eon for all the things I've done and people I've met, but in others, it just seems like a week ago that I was sitting in the airport on my way out here.
more later......

sorry for the lack of writing...

Sorry for the awful lack of posts...been too busy, having fun (and being sick) in France. I'll write soon....Leaving Paris tomorrow for Amsterdam for two days, before heading out to the UK for the remainder of this trip. Sad times, but I've had a great time! Even the hurling from a nasty flu, caught here in Paris, in Reims could've been worse, I suppose...still got to do a fun Champagne tour before getting sick! Aside from that, I went to the Louvre (yes, for HOURS), to the Musée d'Orsay (also for HOURS); and walked up the arc de triomphe, amongst many many other things, so I've been busy here. It's been fun, but I'm struggling with this keyboard, so I'm going to sign off and write more later....

pics

more pics up on the flickr site. I'll try to keep putting new ones up relatively frequently, but we'll see how long that lasts.
