Punting on the Thames

Today we were in Oxford! We went to a pub called The Three Goat Heads for dinner, and I tried liver. :)

But first, a few group pictures that I've missed from past days. This is from last Sunday in Bath.

This is our whole group at the Cliffs of Dover.

This is our classroom. :) We stopped along the trail in Cornwall to have a class and do some travel writing.

A fun view from Stourhead.
 And here's Oxford!
 A pic of some of our group in the punting boats.

 An Oxford bridge.
 Some of the cool buildings in Oxford.
This is the pub where J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis would meet and talk about their books together.
That's all from Oxford. Love you all!

Edinburgh

 We're in Edinburgh! Here is the Scott monument, honoring Scottish author Walter Scott. It is the largest monument to a writer in the world.  Edinburgh castle!  How Scottish... I love it! :) We went to an adorable little tea shop and had fruit tea, scones, and clotted cream! It was so yummy!  This is the tea shop.  Today we hiked King Arthur's seat, which is a big hill/ridge just outside of the city. A view of the city from the top of King Arthur's Seat. This is the "birthplace" of Harry Potter because it is the cafe where JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book. Look at this awesome Scottish hat!!!!! Love to you all!

Hello, London!

The British Museum of Natural History I made it to London!!!!! It is so charming here - that’s the best word I can think of to describe it. The accents, the buildings, and landscape - everything just makes me want to smile. All of the buildings and houses are either made of brick or are white, and the part of London that we are in is full of international embassies and beautiful museums. A beautiful little church I stumbled upon just a few blocks from my flat. I made it from the airport to my flat by myself by taking the tube, which was fun. I felt so resourceful. :) Once I made it to the flat, we met up with our group and took a quick walking tour of the area of London we are in. We took a quick walk through Hyde park, which was beautiful. There were walking paths and bikers and lots of people out for an afternoon stroll. However, it was blustery and very windy, so everyone was wiping pollen and dust from their eyes the whole time. The other thing I lo...

The Cornish Coast

Yesterday we hiked along the Cornish coast from Tintagel castle to Boscastle. Man, it was a stunning hike! Here are a few pics... This is the trail we hiked along on the coast. Another view of the trail.  Today we visited Stourhead Gardens, where several scenes from the Keira Knightly Pride and Prejudice  were filmed.   (I thought this looked a lot like one of Grandpa's tree pieces! Anyone agree?) So many beautiful things! Love you all!
