lawnmower.

today we went outside of london. our first stop was runnymede. this is where the magna carta was signed in 1215. it was in an absolutely stunning area!
the weather all day was beyond beautiful. the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky! mind you, i was misinformed that it was going to be cold so i layered up and melted all day. joy.

windsor castle was our next stop, and it was great. but the entire time i couldn't stop thinking about my trip a few years ago with annie and kim! my favorite part next to the changing of the guards was the gigantic dollhouse made for all of Queen Mary's miniatures. it was so cool. it even has electricity and a plumbing system! my friend ryan looked at their backyard and said, "the only problem is you also have to mow the grass"... i honestly laughed so hard i cried.
after windsor we went to John Milton's home. he wrote paradise lost, and was a famous poet who we are studying in english. it was hilarious because within 3 minutes of getting there our entire center was asleep lying in the shade in the garden. i woke up completely confused as to where i was, but it was heaven.
our last stop of the day was at stoke poges. this is where the famous poet thomas gray was buried. it was my favorite cemetery i have ever been to.

for dinner i went with katelin-jane, natalie, and victoria. it was so much fun!! we had such good conversation and laughed all night long. i'm really loving it here, and i'm already not looking forward to leaving all these amazing people!
