London!!

Okay… so internet is definitely tricky to get over here! That is, if you don’t want to pay about $20 at the hotel (yeah right!). So really quick… this week has been full of travel and a little too much time on the bus! Leaving Edinburgh on Monday morning, we visited the Minster and Railway Museum in York before stopping there for the night.

The next morning it was off again, but this time getting to spend some time at Coventry Cathedral and Warwick Castle. The cathedral(s) at Coventry are both incredible in their own right (the old bombed out shell of the original cathedral is actually right next to the large, modern cathedral). The place as well as the memorials there, such as the A-bomb memorial and exhibit, were very moving. On the other hand, while Warwick castle was an amazing palace, it has been turned into more of a tourist attraction than anything. The climax of our time there was the reenactment of a trebuchet launch where they shot an impressive fireball at a tree (the best part of which was Dr. Kihlstrom’s hilarious commentary – making fun of the entire thing).

Also, in Stratford we have seen a lot of Shakespeare… stuff…. And the beautiful town surrounding the Avon river! We’ve been in London for a few days now, but traveling to towns around it every day because we have the bus until tomorrow. So we’ve been to Stonehenge, Bletchley Park, a bunch of towns around here, and British Museum, Chinatown… and loads of other places of course ☺

But Hanna and I are currently in the corner of a rather sketchy café in London and our internet time is about up… so gotta run, hope you all are well, be sure to write and tell me how things are back in the US!

Love and miss you loads!!!

Cheers! ☺
