Adventures In England--Day 9


Sunday, March 27, 2011


Since Saturday was such a long day, we stayed put in our small, quiet town for the day. Jason had a few things that he needed to get done for residency so we ran into town around lunch time to get on the more dependable internet. Internet is provided for all the students here but you are extremely lucky if you can catch a day when the computers are actually able to connect to the weak signal. Did I mention that the papers Jason needed to get completed were his agreement and his contract with Penn State-Hershey?! The program mailed out a huge packet with the originals this week but since we aren't in Missouri and we won't be able to get them, a faxed copy will have to do until we can get back and get them the originals.

I thought I would show you a little bit of our walk...Did you know that more tourists are killed each year due to motorist/crosswalk incidents than anything else? I'm so glad they tell you which way to look before crossing the street because it's opposite the way we would look in the states. On our way back from town, we stopped by my favorite park to feed the ducks, the geese and any other bird that was hungry. We also stopped by the tiniest little door, which I'm sure leads into the tiniest little house. We saw the owner out walking her dog one morning and just about fainted. She didn't appear to be a dwarf but she was the tiniest person I've ever seen. She couldn't have been taller than 4'0 and her feet were the size of my 4 year old nephew. She could easily be on a TLC special.

Oh my gosh that tiny door is absolutely hysterical! I love it.
It seems like everything is really pretty over there. The crosswalk info scares me. Can you imagine. Yikes people LOOK BOTH WAYS. I don't care which way the cars come from. Didn't their mama's teach them these things :)
