Our first days in England

So we made it to England! YAY!! We have been here only three days and already we have so many adventures. the flight was long and it was difficult to sleep due to the cramped seats but I managed to doze off and watch a few movies. When we arrived we took a bus to Grantham which is always fun... ok not so much. We were all exhausted from the trip but we had lunch when we arrived and a short orientation. After dinner we tooka short nap so that we could go out to town and check out the nightlife. We called for a taxi and our adventure began. We were unsure of where we were supposed to meet the taxi driver so we ended up walking down the road a bit. After we got in the taxi we had him take us to Goose at the Bank a local bar/ restaurant. We had a fun time and afterwards went to a bar called chequers which ended up being a rather upscale bar. Then it was time to go home buts since none of us had international calling on our phones we decided to just walk home. We later realized what a horrible idea this really was and next time we will not leave without a taxi. the walk home was long and cold but an adventure none the less. We slept well that night.

The next morning we woke up for breakfast and class. During class we got to discover how big Harlaxton Manor actually is when we walked around to take pictures. That afternoon we went into town to buy groceries. We also went to the Grantham museum and the lovely cathedral downtown. That night we went to the Bistro and had a good time. We met students from other schools that are also staying at the castle.

Today was a long day to say the least. We began our morning with class and then we had our venture to Coventry and Stratford Upon Avon. We saw a massive cathedral. We also went to see Shakespeares grave and house which was fun. Well minus us getting lost on the way. We want to try crumpets but haven't been able to find them yet so that will be an ongoing cahllenge for us. We saw an interesting play tonight; A Winters Tale.

We have had alot of fun so far and I am looking foward to our weekend trip.
