WatchOn top of the “hill”
Day 6
Had so much fun touring around the countryside of Wales with Liz, Shaun and Adam! Saw a waterfall at Devils Bridge, A LOT of sheep, a wind farm and a dam. The windfarm was really neat, I have never been so close to one! I really couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. When we got back Shaun and Liz decided to go out on the dingy and ride it from the river to the ocean, it was absolutely...

Day 5
We watched a lot of British music videos, which are actually very different from the U.S. Basically just chilled out for the morning, then headed out to the Aberystwyth castle. Toured the castle, which was bombed so some of it was missing. Then climbed Constituiton hill, it was ridicliously windy. Had lunch at Ceasers, I had tuna sweetcorn and mayonaise baguette. The rest of the night is as of yet...
Day 4
Went to the beach in 57 degree water, it was so cold! There was a boat, what they like to call a “dingy” which was used to serve hours of entertainment in the ocean. Almost lost Adam, but no worries he is safe again! Liz and Shaun built a miniture Venice, it was beautiful. Went to the supermarkert, got crispy bites which are corn flakes covered in chocolate that are really good. Made...

Day 3
Took a train to Aberystwyth, the town where Liz went to college. Staying with her good friends Adam and Shaun. Shaun is Welsh, which is making the language barrier a little more problamatic than anticipated. Got a tour of the town, which sits right on the ocean. Wonderful place, I really like it here despite the fact that the temperature is down in the low 50’s. Went to some pubs at night...

WatchLiz’s brother Paul throwing money that he just got from selling his car. Ridiculous.
Day 2
Took a bus into downtown Leicester and saw Roman bath ruins! Went to Primemark, what an amazing store! Everything was very cheap, but that is probably because there products are made by slaves. Nonetheless I got some awesome shoes for only £10. Came back to Liz’s village Birtstall and went to the pub.

First day in England
Landed in Heathrow at 9:30 and met up with Liz shortly after. Took the London underground and walked around Victoria Station. Saw Buckingham palace where we saw an NBC news crew. Also, saw Prince Charles who was coming out of his castle. Got lunch at a local deli and ate in a park. Then we took the coach (bus) to Liz’s house and I got to meet her family! Had a wonderful dinner, thanks to...
