Yay, last week of Summer A! #icandothis #postbacc #carlatheanthropologist #journal

See you again soon, London. Cheers 🇬🇧 #carlaandjuliaadventures #london

Big Ben & London Eye at dusk. A pretty good last-day scenery. #carlaandjuliaadventures #london #bigben (at Big Ben)

It's from 1685. It's a 1st edition. It has all Shakespeare's works (and then some). And it's £85,000. (That's about $127,000, in case you're considering.) #blackwell #blackwellsbookshop #oxford (at Blackwell's Bookshop)

The things I've seen in the wardrobe... I'm changed forever. #queencarlathevaliant #thelionthewitchthewardrobe #cslewis #thekilns (at The Kilns)

C.S. Lewis' Study, at his house in Oxford, the Kilns. Pressing pen to paper in the same spot that I know he did was like brushing fingertips with a ghost. It was humbling to be there. #cslewis #thekilns #oxford (at The Kilns)

I am a lost boy, from Never Land, usually hanging out with Peter Pan... #hydepark #peterpanstatue (at Hyde Park)

I found the gem of London: Hyde Park. #carlaandjuliaadventures #hydepark #wearingyellowforvangogh (at Hyde Park)

When you get to meet the cast portraying 5 characters who have meant so much to you since childhood... their performances moved me, but more than anything they transported me back to the place where as a child I felt safe, felt like I had a place to belong. "And though it's nowhere I have been, I'll keep on smiling from the times I've had with them..." Thanks for bringing me back home to Hogwarts, guys. ⚡ #harrypotterandthecursedchild #potterhead #canyouguesswhoplayedwho? (at Palace Theatre, London)

i love michele because she’s such a mother. i realized that whenever i have a problem, i want to ask michele how to handle it. because she was my roommate, is my roommate, and she helped me unclog my toilet and kill cockroaches and beat heartaches. i love michele for how wild she is, that she is adventure itself and isn’t afraid of freedom. she makes me less afraid of my freedom. and God, i am so endlessly grateful for the way You made her with the least judgmental heart possible. i can tell michele anything, ANYTHING, and she does not impose her opinions, she does not make a sound, she just hears and breathes and is there with me. that is a gift and i am so blessed to have a friend who possesses it.
