Wales!

Hello From Wales!

I'm currently stationed at St. Deniol's Library, which is a residential library in the small town of Hawarden, Wales (Coincidentally, pronounced the same as Hardin!). We are here for almost a week, relaxing, reading, and writing papers. On our way down, we stopped in Liverpool and visited the Beatles' Story :) (Emily K- I took lots of pictures for you!)
The time we spent in the Lake District was idyllic. Beautiful views everywhere, and a good time of community bonding in our own private conference center.
Our next stop is YORK! I can't wait! I will probably buy their gift shop out :) We are on to London after that, which I'm sure will be unforgettable. We are doing "the tourist thing" this visit to London (I think we end up there three different times...), and will be having fun visiting museums and taking the Tube and such.
This is going to be a quick posting, because I am borrowing a very nice friend's computer "just to check my email," so I should probably get it back to her. Just so you all know, I am happy and healthy (that was mostly for Mom and Dad). By the way, Mom and Dad- When my phone is out of the service area, incoming calls go straight to voicemail, which explains our problems earlier this week. Also, I got my glasses fixed for FREE at the Queensferry Walmart! (Yes, there are Walmarts over here!)

Lots of Love to you all! Next Post: After London...

  1. Hi, Honey!
    So glad to hear from you! We do appreciate the updates. Funny that you are so far away and still in "Hardin!" Glad to hear about your glasses -- gotta love that Wallie's World! Also glad to hear an explanation for our phone difficulties. Where exactly would you be "in area?" Hopefully some of those York souvenirs are for those at 709 N. Cheyenne! :) Mom

  2. Hi my girl, how awesome to hear from you and share in a bit of this trip. Sounds unbelieveable to me and I am sure you feel like pinching yourself sometimes. I could not be more excited for you. If you don't have time to journal, at least you can review the posts upon your return.:)Cheerio to you! Sending love, A. Fran
