On the Way to London for the Summer Institute

How much is cheap airfare worth...well two layovers and almost 24 hours worth. We left Los Angeles to visit Adam's family for a week in Danville, VA. From Virginia we went to Boston and had a 10 hour layover. Since it was such a long layover, we decided to go into Boston. Ironically, our adventure that day included The Freedom Trail which outlines the path the US took to become a nation that started with our "rebellion" against England. The picture below shows Adam in front of Paul Revere's home. We found out that no one we talked to in England knew who Paul Revere is. Apparently it is frowned upon to teach about key people who helped other countries rebel against your country. From what we can gather, England does not teach about the American Revolution at all in their general history classes.

From Boston to Iceland, we had just over a two hour layover. If you ever wonder what language they speak in Iceland it is Icelandic, which is similar to Swedish as Dana was able to recognize some of their words.

From Iceland to our destination, we arrived in London Gatwick airport almost 24 hours after we began our journey...Hooray.
