English Study, 2004, Recollections
Having grown up in the greater Bangor, Maine area and choosing to go to college near my parent's house, I felt the need to get out and explore another part of the world in my junior year of advanced education; therefore, when I was 21, I traveled to northern England to study abroad in the Newcastle-upon-Tyne / Sunderland area of Durham county. It's supposedly the area from which George Washington's relatives emigrated. I do not know why I chose that area in particular, something about being in northern England sounded unknown to me. I wanted to know more about the world, and I had enjoyed England when I visited the country and our relatives there with my parents four years prior. This is a photo I took near a lighthouse on the shores of the North Sea. It is really close to the border of Sunderland (to the south) and Newcastle (to the north). Sunderland is on the east coast of Britain, and is awakened by cold gusts that blow in from Scandinavia via this body of water...
