It began as a blog post for the A to Z Challenge, L, specifically. One of the organizations I tagged in my post about my summer in London, BUNAC, saw it and contacted me. They asked me to write a post for their blog about my experience. I did. The American, a magazine for American ex-patriots living in the UK, saw that post and asked to run a slightly expanded version of it in their August issue.
Well…here it is!
First, the Table of Contents:
Then the article itself. Click the image to go to the online magazine, then go to page 18!
Wasn’t I cute back then? LOL I told you I was an international superstar!! But what I wouldn’t give to be back there, thirty years later, watching the Olympics live instead of on my television. Oh well. My easy chair is pretty comfortable and I can watch that world record pacing bar they superimpose on the pool when the US hopefuls are swimming.
Cheers!

International star? Well of course that’s not too surprising. What an amazing experience. I think we all would love to be in London right now. Go USA!!!
BTW you look just as cute today as in ’82.
