My host family in Tours (two people are missing here—it was a large family) I’ve now been home for roughly two weeks or so, and I’ve decided that now is a good time to write my last post for Bama Bloggers Abroad. It was honestly harder to leave Tours (and...

Being in London, there is so much history to learn about and places to see. At first, my friends and I felt a little ashamed to act like every other tourist: taking pictures of anything and everything, looking lost while trying to follow GoogleMaps, and getting...
