Been following all the Posts and feel like I was on the same trip as you Terah. I saw the same kind of conditions in Spain and Portugal some years ago.
Right now I think your wondering where you are, where you should be, and was it all a dream? I was gone three weeks and it took me sometime and tears and prayers to get myself 'home.'
You did a wonderful job and congrats.
The reason I'm writing is....Lyle mentioned in one of the Blogs that the people in London were very rude. When it comes to a lot of American tourists actions in London....London people have their side to being rude.
I went with a group of 150 people who all worked for Norge. They went to Spain for a meeting of all things. One of the guys I knew had three extra tickets and offered them to me. My sister, Pat, and my Hula teacher from the Y, wanted to go. So we each bought a ticket for $300 ea. This included everything but our film and personal things. Coming home we stayed in London a bit. The Norge guys acted so stupid, so rude, so terrible and were all drinking the entire time. I was so embarrassed to even be one of them. One of the pilots from London told me this was the way people from US acted in London. They left a bad reputation for us as other tourists did also. So the people of London really aren't happy to see us.
Just giving you another side that I saw personally.

I think that is the case with Americans for most countries, unfortunately.
Poor countries put up with tourism, because it is the only way to make money...that was the case in the Bahamas and in Mexico when I was on vacation. They cater to your every need, to get money from you. London, on the other hand, probably doesnt find it worth while to put up with bad behavior, and can afford to be rude.
I didn't know you had traveled overseas! You need to post more stuff like this!
