Home.

Last night I arrived home to Oroville around 10pm after taking an 11-hour flight to San Francisco, followed by a short 25 minute flight to Sacramento. I slept for 14 hours last night, and have been doing laundry and unpacking today. London seems so recent yet to far away at the same time.

This last 2.5 months have been truly amazing and crazy and eye-opening in so many ways. I feel like I've grown up a lot and have gained a broader view of the world and its people. I've learned quite a bit, probably more from the people I've met than the classes I've taken. I'm going to try to enjoy this break and get as much rest as possible so that I can go back and make the most of the rest of my time there.

I leave you with some photos taken by Alvaro a few weeks ago... I'm jealous of his camera. Click the photos to enlarge.

Westminster Abbey. 


Hyde Park with leaves everywhere. This is my new desktop background.


Two birds biting themselves. Probably trying to look attractive for each other :P



So tourists don't look the wrong way and get run over by double decker buses. I reckon that these have saved my life at least a couple times.

Picadilly Circus, sort of like the Times Square of London.

Let me out!

Glad you made it home safely! Say hi to the padres from me, will you?
And about the pictures... there are some good ones, but the ones that the asian took of us with Big Ben... horrible! Wait until I edit the best ones... you'll see!
abrazo hermano!
