Come Together - Janelle

Back to one of my favorite places! Of course, it is the people that makes the place, so I will always love London thanks to my friends Kasia and Piotr :) 
Now, I know Afton has started running again back in Canada, so I laced up this week and did a little running myself! I ran through the beautiful french city of Strasbourg, through farmers fields in Melbach Germany, and now around London. My friends live very close to the famous Abbey Road, so I ran to the zebra stripes where the Beatles iconic photograph for their album cover was taken.
I made sure to walk the same stride across the street. Of course there were loads of tourists taking photos, but I left the camera at home. The Beatles did it best anyways :)

In fundraising news, I have raised 76% of my goal, so any support is greatly appreciated!! When I get back, expect a bottle drive or two ;) Any donation over 20$ gets a tax receipt from the Arthritis Society.

I get back to Canada on Monday. I can confidently say I am ready to come home. I have seen a lot in Europe, and I am so happy with every experience and lesson I've had in the last 4 months.
Here is a quick look at my last three weeks!

Have you ever watched this youtube video? Well at almost 34 million hits, it is pretty popular. When Julia visited me in Canada, I showed her this clip. When I came to see her in Germany, we witnessed a double rainbow in PERSON! We were both so excited! Just like Yosemitebear :) Here is our video

Double rainbow, all the way across the sky! It is so bright! What does this mean???
