| One of the many fields of wildflowers. |
Our group went on a country walk today. We took a train out
of the city and went walking with our guides (who ranged from ages 10-76). It
was quite the group. They originally told us that the hike would be 8-10 miles,
but it could not have been that long. Maybe 4-5. It was wonderful. It was supposed
to be really hot, but it ended up being overcast and it drizzled off and on
throughout the day. I was so happy that it wasn’t hot. I was a little mad that I
had just spent £10
on sunscreen, but oh well. I’ll be so prepared next time it’s sunny (watch it’ll
be overcast for the rest of the time I’m in London). Anyway, the walk was
really pretty. There were fields of lavender and fields of poppies (unfortunately I don't have any pictures of those fields). We took
several stops along the way. One was at a ruined castle. It was pretty cool. We
stopped at a little shop by the lavender fields. Everything they had there was
lavender scented, flavored, etc. Then we stopped in a little Catholic(?) church
and sat down for a bit. There was no one there so we sang “Come Thou Fount”
before we left. It was really cool. The echo in that church was amazing.
Then we came home. I went shopping for a little bit. Bought
some t-shirts, but that’s pretty much how I spent my Saturday. I know it’s a
short post, but I’ve got to go write my last two papers. I thought I had
written my last paper, but no. I’ve got 2 more to write before Monday night.
But, they are super short, so it’ll be easy.
Anyway, enjoy the few pictures that
I have.
