#8













yo yo yo! So the last pictures up will be from yesterday. I think there's only one or two, sorry about that.
Today we did a ton of walking. We woke up early to take the train to Cambridge, it was a scramble at the Tube station and one of our members got left on accident. We went back of course, but it was an adventure in itself to go find her. ken kept calling it our mission and would "brief" us on what was going on. it was kinda fun and scary at the same time, but all was well. The train was actually really good, other than when it went through tunnels the pressure made our ears pop like crazy! It was a crazy feeling. David and I played Uno with Ken's kids the whole way, I have yet to win a game yet, thought I got pretty close this time. It was so nice to see the country side, even if it was just out a train window. Once in Cambridge we went to the Library and got to see some really old books, some of which there were only one or two copies ever. There were also these sheets of paper signed by the pope granting the person who's name on it admission to heaven. We all joked that we would later photoshop our names into them and tell everyone that we were now saved. We laughed when Ken pretened to sign his name too. After the library we were free for lunch and any shopping we wanted to do (there was a market going on). David Isaac and I decided to stop in a pub/restraunt to get warm. there was nachos on the list that sounded good for lunch and we were planning on sharing them so that we could try to save a bit. I also got my first cosmo! oh, it was good too. =] We had to kinda rush through lunch though to meet everyone to go to the Cambridge printing plant. That was just about amazing! They do some amazing printing things there, and some amazing books! I was pretty impress, but we wern't allowed to take pictures, so theres nothing but words for that trip. We also decided to start a savenger hunt in London. A scavenger hunt for lost gloves that is! Any time you see a lone glove you take a picture and write down where it is, so far we have a "kid mitten" found on Hills Road, a "leather fingers" found also on Hill road (on the way to Cambrige printing press) and a "nice glove" found on Brooklands Ave. there were a few others, but we hadn't established all the rules so we didn't write anything down about them.
After the Printing place we took a taxi (my second in so far =] ) back into town (it was a loooooooong walk to get there) and walked around for a bit more. David Isaac and I sat in a cafe for a bit and ended up staying for way long doing the crossword puzzle, haha. then we tried to go home, but got on the wrong train home, and ended up at the wrong airport. Oh it was a great adventure, but nerve-racking as well. We got home, finally! and no worries. We just ate dinner, and are just sitting for a while before we decide to do something. Hopefully we wont be out so late. I need some sleep yo!
peace love
