Surprisingly enough, I am behind on my blogging for this trip...to the point that I haven't really started. I'll try to start from the beginning and give a general overview of the last four amazing days, but even words can't really explain it. I'm still having issues believing this is real. I'm actually here. I know it's somewhat silly to say that I have always wanted to come here and this is one of my "life goals" but honestly, if you go back and look in any of my old diaries, notes to friends, or anything that listed my aspirations in life -- this was probably at the top of my list. This opportunity is absolutely priceless, and it seriously brings more joy to my heart than I let on. So, on that note, Day One:
Travelling. Bowling Green to Nashville! Check Luggage. Nash to Chicago O'Hare. O'Hare to London Heathrow. Heathrow onto Coach (charter bus). The coach brought us to Harlaxton nearly 24 hours later. We stayed up all day to try to ward off the inevitable jetlag. This wasn't too hard considering where we are in residence. This is honestly the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The architecture is mind-blowing. The detail is beyond anything I have ever seen. I could wander about for hours walking up and down the corridors and mini-staircases (and large staircases!) searching for the secret passageways, sneaking a run on the piano in the Long Hall, laying in the floor under the beautiful ceiling in any one of the state rooms. Basically, this place is Hogwarts for Muggles.
