Hello America

So we are sitting in the Charlotte airport and I can't believe this trip is actually over. These past two weeks have been filled with some amazing experiences. On Saturday we went on the London Eye which is just one gigantic ferris wheel. At first I was pretty nervous to go on it because I absolutely hate ferris wheels. Although I did pretty much stay in the exact center of our pod I did end up liking it a lot more than I had thought. The view was absolutely amazing and it was fun to see an Ariel view of the city we had been exploring for almost a week. Another thing that we did this week was travel to Paris. I swear we have used every form of public transportation on this trip because we took a train to France. Although I thought Paris was amazing it was very different then I expected. One of the main things that surprised me was how dirty the city was. It made me very thankful for some of the semi clean cities we have in America. Obviously the highlight of Paris for me was seeing the Eiffel tower sparkle at night time. It was so beautiful and I'm so glad that I can say I have seen it in person at night in Paris. Last night was our last night and a

Group of us went to see the musical Wicked. We all loved it and had an amazing time. The story line and most of all the amazing voiced were some highlights of the show. Overall I feel like I have learned a lot more about many other cultures and the history of how they came to be. This has been an amazing trip and I'm sad its over but I'm also happy to be in my homeland :)
