"It is not the walls that make the city, but the people who live within them. The walls of London may be battered, but the spirit of the Londoner stands resolute and dismayed." -George VI

From all of the countries that I have traveled to, the U.K. would have to be the best one I have visited. From the food to the people, everything overall was the best.

When I visited London, I was doing a study abroad trip about Winston Churchill and World War II. Winston Churchill is one of my favorite historical figures, so I had to take this opportunity.
I traveled to Chartwell to go visit the home of Churchill and may I say, it was remarkable.
My favorite part of his home was his back yard. He has a rose garden that is still taken care of as of today and the roses are beautiful! It is amazing to see that people still take care of his roses though he is now not with us and that made me very happy.
At the end of this tour, I was able to go see there he rests at a local cemetery down the road. What was so sweet about this was that before he passed, he made it clear that he would want to be buried where his family is so they can all be together.

When traveling to another location, whether it is in the same state or out of the country, I think it is important to go out and learn the history. You never know, you might be at the place of what you learned in your history class back in high school.
