What I've been up to
Here's some of what I wrote in my last email to Harly:
"I went swing dancing with my friend Owen and we had an amazing time! We met lots of English people and I can't remember having such fun since Liquid Fun. We're definately going back next week! I'm so excited!!!
Also, on Saturday I saw a whole bunch of friends from TEC! I saw Angela (CROPSY! CROPSY!) and 5 other people you probably don't know (some were from my first year as a counselor). We met for lunch at a cafe and then went to the natural history museum. Then hopped on over to Hyde Park for some ice cream. For about two hours we lay there reminising and remembering all the good (and bad) times from TEC. I'm going to miss camp so much this summer but seeing some of my friends really helped.
Also I think Kerry's coming for a visit this week! YAY! So that's pretty cool.
Today we went on a day trip to Bath, a town established by the Romans arround hot springs where people used to go to bathe in the pool's healing waters. Today no one can even touch the water for fear of contamination. The baths were cool but the town of Bath itself was amazingly beautiful!
Turns out the Jane Austin exhibition was there, located a few houses away from where Jane Austin actually lived for five years of her life. We heard about her life with all of the good and bad. She and her sister Cordelia were incredibly close and their relationship was the basis of almost every pair of close sisters featured in her books (Jane and Lizzy, Mary-Anne and Elinor, etc). It made me think of you and how much I love you and wish you could have been there with me.
Not to mention mom would have loved it! The town looked like something right out of one of Austin's books! There was even a woman in costume standing outside to make it seem more real. I took lots of pictures so we can all look at them when I come back to the States. I got you and mom some gifts from there; I'm not sure who's getting what yet so you'll just have to wait and see!"
Also, it turns out my DVD player can only play British DVD's up to 4 times before I either make a permanent switch to UK or US. So MEghan feel FREE to send any cool DVD's that you were originally planning on sending. ;)
If you want to of course
Ta!
