Travel Abroad - Day 1

Stephanie called yesterday. She's on a trip with People to People abroad. Specifically, she's heading to England, Ireland, and Wales. She flew out of CMH Sunday morning, and landed in London (via ORD) around 6am local time. They visited Hampton Court Palace (much of which was designed by renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren in the 1690s) and which was the beautiful and historic home of King Henry VIII. It's nestled in a bend in the River Thames and is a blend of Tudor and English Baroque architecture. They also walked through the Anne Boleyn Gateway and explored the palace's living maze in the palace gardens. She was thoroughly wiped out when she called, but was loving every minute of it.
