ENGLAND
Words honestly can not describe the wonder of this place. It is, to say the least, magical. London was fast paced and exciting, but at the same time calm and surreal. There was never a dull moment or a time where there was nothing to do. The last week there we spent the majority of our time in the English countryside. Now this was something that honestly took your breathaway. When you see the beautiful countryside, and the large beautiful palaces that lie on these lands, you completely forget about the vast city and craziness that lies just an hour away. For me it was always a moment to rest and contemplate.
The people in England are some of the kindest, most gentile people I have ever met. They are not loud and boistrous like the Italians, or snobbish like the French. I noticed this especially riding the metro or the train. The people were very quiet and introverted, some may take this as a sign of rudeness, but I found it more intriguing. As I studied the people around me I noticed that they were always reading. Always expounding their knowledge on whatever they could. I found this very interesting. At first I was nervous to ask the people for help, but I soon found that the English people didn't mind helping you and didn't mind sharing what their country has to offer. They have a pride about their country that is different than any other place that I have ever been.
The English history stretches back for thousands of years. Something, like our English tour guides always like to tell us, that we Americans could never comprehend. I admire the history, and the way that they as a country and people have learned and grown from it. They enjoy sharing their history and realize the impact that their people have had on the world. Although, they share and show their history in a way that makes you gain a total respect for the country as a whole. We Americans would not be here if it wasn't for the English. I feel that out of all of the countries we had the opportunity in visiting, I learned and grew the most here. I love England with all my heart and can not wait until I can return. Cheers!
