An English Summer

Whoa, it's been a really long time since I've posted on here. My goal was to not turn into one of those distant bloggers that slowly disappeared off the face of the earth. But it looks like that happened. It's been a very busy summer and I do have a lot to post; trips and adventures dating all the way back to May. I promise that I will get everything posted, with pictures, eventually. First, I'd like to give everyone an update on what I've been up to!

In May, a few friends and I took a camping trip to the Southwest corner of England, otherwise known as Cornwall. We enjoyed some excellent weather on the beach and I introduced everyone to the wonderful goodness of Smores. A few weeks later, my friends Ryan and Brianne came to visit. We took a trip to Amsterdam with some friends and then continued our adventure to Berlin where we spent a few days before returning to London. In June, another friend, Susie, came to visit. She spent a week in London before heading to France for 5 days. A few days after her departure from London, another friend, Julie, came to visit. We went to West Africa for two full weeks to visit our friend Kate and it was the adventure of a lifetime. It's going to take me some time to compile my journal and pictures of this trip, but you can expect a very detailed (and hopefully entertaining) reflection of the trip in the future. Finally, last weekend my girlfriend and I took a trip to Sardinia for a long week, an Italian island in the middle of the Mediterranean. Things will finally calm down for the next couple weeks before I leave for the States to attend my brother's wedding festivities and visit my friends in Colorado. By the way, yes, I said girlfriend.

I know that you were probably hoping to see some exciting pictures and read things about my summer. If you have facebook, I have kept the pictures a little more updated there. Otherwise, I have a selective variety of them below. But I do promise that more will follow shortly...a lot more.

Also, although my time will be short, I would love to see all of you when I'm home next month! Here are the dates I'll be around:

In Oregon September 2nd to 16th
In Colorado September 16th to 22nd
