LONDON

Kavan and I arrived in London via the Eurostar on Sunday evening. We had a lovely time in Paris but it is nice to be with family and not living in a hotel. We've had a fantastic time so far and really have to thank the family for their generosity and hospitality. It's a real treat to be able to spend time with those who we don't see all the time. Aside from enjoying the company of family, we've been out to enjoy a few sites including the London Eye, the London Dungeon, London Tower, Buckingham Palace, and Big Ben! Here are a few photos:

France-Lourdes & Paris


I have to apologize, I've been terrible with updating the blog. After a lovely time in Spain, we travelled to Lourdes, France. Lourdes is a small city with a big reputation in the Catholic Church. For over 150 years it has been known as a place of healing. Travelling to Lourdes was a lifelong dream of Kavan's parents and given everything he's been through in the past year, they thought it might be a good idea to take him there. It was extremely rainy while we were there and we shared a few funny experiences. Here are some photos of our time in Lourdes:

Espana

We have spent five lovely days in Spain so far. It's beautiful here and my only complaint may be that we don't have enough time to explore all of the sights! Kavan is doing well. I''ll say it again, his energy amazes me! I feel like a sloth most days, and cannot keep my eyes open past eight o'clock. His eyebrows are almost back to normal. His hair seems to be late to the party and is coming in significantly slower! I'm just happy his eyebrows are back, and with it his facial expressions!

Here are a few photos from our time in Spain:

Nice to see Kavan moving so well!
