Finally, an easy day!

So today we still did a lot but at a much slower pace. We started out our day with a drive to St. Ives. This town was very very adorable. We spent an hour and a half just wandering around. We walked down to the beach and just wandered the town. I found my brother Joseph the perfect present! It was just really cute and tranquil but we had to walk uphill to get back to the bus….no more hills! Only problem is we are in a hilly part of England. So my interesting story from this stop: on our way down we were walking down this long hill. Christina (not to be confused with Kristina who is in other blog posts) was joking about how she would love to ride down the hill in a shopping cart. I informed her she was crazy because she couldn't steer and would break at the bottom. She would need an ambulance. We get to the bottom right after I make this statement and what do we find? An ambulance. We laughed until we realized someone was actually injured and getting put in the ambulance. We went back to the coach there was quite a bit of blood on the ground...but I know that the man was conscious when he left in the ambulance.

 Our next stop was St. Michael's Mount. This island becomes inaccessible during high tide. The mount has a castle, church and gardens all to itself. It was gorgeous. We just wandered this island for three hours after a nice long walk on the beach to get there. It was just beautiful. I loved it. I spent time with Taylor (married) Ashely, Kristina, Michael, Nicala and others of our group. We were finally able to just explore it at our own pace. We had to leave the island by 4 though because the tide would start coming in. I was with Frank's wife Suzzie at 3:50 heading to the gift shop because she wanted a souvenir. Frank waited for us before he would walk across the causeway. It was a really cute moment.

 Our next step was to go to the end of the world! Lol, not really but we did go to Land's End which is the furthest west that you can go in England. We tried to find some whales with no success but we did have a really cool moment. Right when we were ready to leave there were two guys on bikes being met by an entourage. Turns out that these two guys had traveled from the farthest point in the northern Scotland to Land's End in 6 days. They averaged 150 miles a day. Then at the end while everyone was celebrating their success one of the bikers got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend! Another guy said he was so delirious that he proposed and tomorrow he is going to freak out. We all awed and just enjoyed the moment!

Our last stop was Penzance. "When the foreman bears his steel...." Audrey ;) haha! Basically Kristina, Nicala and I went to find dinner. We are staying in 7 different B&Bs and hotels here because there are so many of is. Also the B&B's had internet!!!! Lol, obviously, that's why my blog exploded. I can at least say that I typed everything up on the bus the day of, Kristina is my witness. So the three of us wanted Chinese food and we found a take away/restaurant so we went up because the price looked good. We were the only ones there....we still ate there. It was alright. We then wandered a bit around the town. There isn't much here that we are aware of, we found an Egyptian building and their church. Now we are just chilling in our room. Kristina and I both enjoyed taking a shower and just having a calm evening. We are going to watch Alice and Wonderland with Johnny Depp. Have a great day guys! Way to be a champ and catch up with my blog! Love you all :)
