Well folks England is officailly gorgeous- I woke up today to a gorgeous day with perfect weather and after a couple cups of coffee and a ciggy I was good to go,trying to figure out an English shower was intersting- It haot but no pressure than pressure but freezing - I almost gave up and even hopped out once but finally I got it to work after breakfast We went to downtown Werthing and I exchanged my money - We then walked down thru the downtown area to all the cute shops and we bought English cigarettes by Steven 's reccomondation and then we wlaked to the end of the Werthing Pier- The body of water there is the English channel which seperates France and England Its funny because English think ofthemselves as more |American than European- even though they are so close-
' Everybody laughs the same all over the world'- Amy T.
We drove to Arundel today which is a part of Sussex about twenty minutes away from Werthing- We went to a Pub called Black Rabbit and we ate outside and I drankkk my first English beer- I had a \Lager Top its like a shandy- Lager and lemonade- But stronger - The lemonade is actually sprite and it is really refreshing. We sat outside and ate by he wetlands overlooking the downs ( hillside) there were lots of open fields and cows . In the river thier were birds and one swan. The hills are Gorgeous. Then we went to the \Arundel castle and walked all around the historic site- The castle was amazing, Stately rooms and Heirlooms dating back to 1800's, The library was like Beauty and the beast -- Drawn red curtains and dark wood carved with designs and Books from the ceiling to the floor and the cathdral was so beautiful. After the castle we went to this darling tea room where we had creamed tea and fresh scones so |Yummy - They served it with whipped cream butter and jam . I took lots of pictures actually I almost went thru a whole camera today and its only 18:50 ish _ I am still learning time and money - But I think I will get it before I leave- The roads are crazy over here too- They are really narrow and the cars park on them every which way. The street signs are really low to the ground and even in the villages the doorways are small- I have to duck. The cars steering wheel is opposite and and the turning seems all confusing because its backwards to us. The speed limit signs are just red circles with the number displayed on it- Its really cute !! Tomorrow is London I cant wait Ok well more to come- Cheers
