Photos from Carla’s Trip to England

Carla recently returned from her trip to England. She was there for a funeral, and to catch up with friends and family. It was also a good opportunity to visit a few towns near to where she used to live, to reminisce and take some photos. These pictures were taken in Windsor, where there are lots of historic buildings, including the castle!

It’s always exciting to be in Windsor at Christmas time. Even the decorations have the royal touch!

Carla has always enjoyed the walk across the bridge from Windsor to Eton. A trip to England wouldn’t be complete without seeing lots of these red post boxes. We don’t have them in California, so it was worth a photo!

Here’s another photo taken in Windsor, with the castle across the street.

And yay! Lucky cats. We see lots of these in the Bay Area, and have started collecting photos of them! It’s more unusual to see them on a trip to England, but they pop up in tourist areas and souven

Back to Long Distance for a Week!

We’re going back to long distance… but not for long.

Carla’s traveling back to England today, to attend a funeral. It’s a sad time, and we’ll be back to our old 8-hour time difference for the coming week. We’ll miss each other, of course. On the plus side, though, Carla will be glad to re-connect with family and friends back in the UK. While she’s away, we’ll be making the most of Facebook and Skype to stay in close contact, just like long-distance couples all over the world.

Back to long distance

Larry’s face looks sad in the photo, but we’re not really making a fuss about this. We’ve already survived nearly three years in a long-distance relationship, before we got the K-1 fiancée visa and Carla moved from the UK to California. A week apart is nothing compared to the time many couples spend waiting to close the distance. Carla will be busy with funeral things, and seeing friends and family – and for her, the time will probably go far too quickly. Larry will have plenty to do at home in California while Carla’s away. In just a few days’ time, he’ll be driving back to the airport. No problem… right? We can do this!
