York

Things are still going good here. I have a lot of exciting new stuff for all of you reading this! Let me begin..

In the last that I posted about Bath, I'm going to add to that. Our proper tea was delicious and a lot better than I had expected. I had Earl Gray tea, and I'm pretty sure that's just a traditional tea. They had a piano playing in the background and it was a really peaceful activity for once. After that, we all went out for supper, and then we decided to go on a walk at midnight. The walk was so much fun and we got to see a lot of stuff that we wouldn't have if we didn't go. We met up with some guys from the University of Bath, and they were willing to teach us how to play rugby! It was a lot of fun. We didn't get back that night until 3am, and didn't get to bed around 4. We had to wake up really early (7) so we could eat breakfast and catch our 8:45 train. This train ride to York was 4 hours long, so I got plenty of time to sleep.

We are now in York and we did a lot of walking around today. This is another pretty city. We ended up going on a haunted walk around the town, which was a little disappointing. The walk started at 7:30, and it was still light out at the end, so we didn't see anything. We do a lot of walking in this town because just the walk from the Youth Hostel to town is 20 minutes. I enjoyed walking until this trip, and now I'm always worn out and want to sleep all the time. But, I keep chugging along anyways!

We've been asked to write about how our views as Americans have changed and what we miss back home..so here I go! I wouldn't say that I've changed as a person, or my views have changed, but, now I'm realizing what everyone else think of us. I had heard that no one likes Americans, but now I see it. I think maybe I've changed my views about some of them. But, most of them are as sweet as can be, there's just those sour apples every once in a while. Next question: Things I miss. I miss a lot of things. I miss Sean, family, and my cat. I also miss McDonalds grilled chicken sandwhich with no tomato and extra mayo. I miss having a lot of flavor in my food and the fact of knowing that it's really greasy! :) Oh, and I miss my own bed.

That's all I can think of for now, I'll try to get back on here tomorrow but the internet is expensive at the hostel. It's £2 for 30 minutes! What a rip off! I miss you all.

Oh, and I broke my camera today. I dropped it and now all of my photos are blurry. Sometimes it takes all purple pictures. Sometimes it's not blurry if I turn the camera off and on in between every picture. I know, it's a bummer. But I also don't want to buy another one for the simple fact that I'm living on a budget for the next week and a half!
