Train ride: I have decided I want to go to that town that Is right on the water it is the last town in England before we get into Scotland! I will do that in October… this month I am going to Edinburgh (?) anyways I meet a very darling old man whom was telling me how him and his friends where meeting up and going to the princess gardens then having lunch and then a gallery and tea and then heading back to New Castle. This old fellow and his friends made me excited about being old because they seemed to really enjoy being together and seeing the beautiful things there are to see. They chat and laugh and go to church and knit! I can’t tell you how much I like the simplicity of the life here. You walk around the small town viewing the cows and hills and cobblestone walkways and feel as if you are in the wrong century. To live here and live simply is a beautiful idea

yes a poster of the play i went to,,, i got too into the play that i forgot to take pictures!!!

Going to the Globe Theatre in London was one of my favorite times in London because the play was magnificent, written by Shakespeare who’s works were preformed here a long time ago.! This is where I happen to stand by some aussies who became my friends shortly after. They are some amazing people, very unique, easy going, and fun! I enjoyed many moments with them, some of the easiest people to be around (but hardest to get a hold of). I was very lucky to have met pretty much the best people who were in London (aussie friends) I could not have asked for a better random group of people to have meet and spent time with.

Aussie friends. Thomas, Andres, Zach, and Shaun, you gotta meet them!

along my long walk i passed by some lovely gardens i thought you might want to see

BIG BEN!!!! reminds me of a cartoon i saw once

IM AT STIRLING ITS BRILLIANT!!!!

HAHA this drink Louise is drinking is called IRN BRU and it is the only soda that has every sold more than coca cola in any country in the world

Friday: the most relaxing day of my life, I spent looking up at sycamore trees listening to worship music and being grateful. Then walking aimlessly and ending up at a place where they sell theatre tickets where I met my first Scott in London, continuing to the breakfast place where I ate a traditional English breakfast. Then waltzed over to the British library. It is a brilliant place with many historical parts to it, wooden staircases and old books. I believe I like sitting near books, I don’t even have to read them and I feel really happy J))). After ripping myself from the calm peace of a huge magnificent library I decide to try and get to the Tate Gallery all the way on the other side of London. I had a grand experience. I saw many surrealistic pieces of art, which don’t make any sense. I chose to walk by the Thames River (they call them a Water here) where I feel the wind blow my hair back, I hear the music played by street musicians, I smell roasting sugar coated peanuts, which soon changed to tasting, and I could see vendors along the sparkling blue water ready to sell their products for the Thames Festival.

The king had everything... so if you visited him what would you give him??? well why not a polar bear? or a lion? or baboons... yes they were wild all ove rthe palace... people got hurt
