A minute to report from the country

We have arrived in the country of England. In a small town called Shaftsbury. I never want to go into London again. The only part of it I enjoyed was Hyde Park and being with Britt. But there was grace for even the low points.

-Found Britt in a massive train station
-Found our house that we stayed in
-Made instant Starbucks coffee
-Ran around Oxford, but found nothing except the pub CS Lewis and Tolkien wrote in
-Spent hours trying to figure out the public transportation system
-Drank coffee at an outside coffee shop
-Sat on a bench in Hyde Park
-Saw John Bunyan's burial ground
-Brit's wallet got stolen
-Arrived at the wrong train station
-Almost lost our bags on the train
-TIRED of city life

We arrived in the quaint town of Shaftsbury and were greeted by friendly faces. Went on a walk in rolling hills and grabbed a marvelous dinner and coffee. Markets and walks are in store for the next couple days. Praise the Lord. More details later!

  1. Oh nooo!!!! I'm so sorry you didn't have fun in London! You'll simply have to go back with me some time and I'll show you the ropes ;). Major props for finding the Eagle and Child in Oxford though -- one of my favorite places. I completely nerded out when I got there and got a T-shirt and everything =).

    Love youu!!
