Now that I have had a few days to get back into the swing of things here in Newcastle, I have realized how much I have truly missed this place.  I wasn’t sure if on my return I would feel sad during my first week back knowing our duffle bagging around Europe days are over for the time being, however it has proved to be just the opposite.  It is so nice to be in a familiar place again and see the same faces.  Even the waiters at restaurants we are frequently at have recognized us once again and have asked how our spring break travels went.  I have loved traveling so much and it is certainly one thing in life I am truly passionate about, but now that I am back with only 2 months left, I want to stay put for a while and take in as much of Newcastle as I possibly can.  I love this city so much and have missed being surrounded by British accents.  Newcastle offers so much and there is still a ton left in this city that I have yet to do, see, or experience.  Being away has made me appreciate even more the city I have been living in for the past 3 months; I cannot imagine what leaving will be like.
