A Week in England

We'll revisit Ireland when we're more competantly able to get photo's on blogger, but in the meantime we've crossed over into England. A ferry and a train and we made our way up to visit our firend Ellie Edwards, who has done us a wonderful favor in putting us up for a week with her family. The Edwards have been incredible hosts, and we are incredibly thankful.

This week has been far less frantic than Ireland, and we've spent a good deal of time swapping stories with our English friends, watching Doctor Who, and being amazed by home-cooked English Meals.

We went on a daytrip for tea in a hilly region, and some incredible views. Ellie tooks us to the pub with her friends. We visited the nearby city, Worcester and took a slightly longer trip to Stratford upon Avon, and last night we went to a Folk Music Night.

Being in a home for a week has made us excited for a place of our own, and eager to return to a stable life. Our budget however, is looking excellent for an extended stay in Europe, so we may take advantage of our position while we have it. A quick tally of expenses so far in Europe for two weeks, puts us well under $2,000, and we've been told the UK is the expensive side of Europe.

As for the next few days, we're planning on spending the weekend in Scotland, then go down to London and across to Normandy. It's been an excellent trip so far, and continues to be so.
