So, today was my first real day in England, as I slept a good deal of yesterday. I went to see Windsor castle, home of the Queen, and not too shabby. The place is gorgeous, and huge, I love looking at old stone castles. I also went to my first English pub, called the Carpenter's Arms, and had a Black Sheep, an Engligh bitter, and a mushroom pie, all very good. I crossed the river temmes (spelling?) and looked at Eaton college, the super prestigious boys school where Princes Harry and William went. I asked and the answer is no, there is no female equivalent of Eaton, not that I'm surprised, why educate us females, we are a bit dim aren't we?
Tomorrow I am off to London. Shauna is kindly escorting me around but I told her today she should not feel obligated to chaperone me, I know how boring touristy (and expensive) touristy activities can be, so I think i will fly solo tomorrow. I am very excited to check out the tower of london, the British museum, Notting Hill, Big Ben, etc. I hope my feet can take the amount of walking I am about to endure.
I hope everyone (and by everyone I mean kate and Paul, as they are the ONLY people who read this, hopefully) is well, I miss you all, love lots,
Lacey
