So after being here for the past few weeks, I realized that this place is pretty damn expensive. For people back home, i try to compare it by saying, "..imagine living in Toronto, with the usual cost of living/stuff but Posted by dnaman in We're leaving on a jet plane... | Jul 14, 2008

We arrived in Cambridge after a relatively short train ride, and walked to Alexis & Lou's flat to have a dinner with Josh's parents, Lou's mother, and the Gruner family from Germany, who the Kalderimis family had stayed with during Posted by joshtracey in Josh & Tracey's Adventures | Jul 13, 2008

We went to the Cotswold today, a range of hills in west-central England, with towns with weird names such as Bourne-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold (which we both visited).

A friend of mine recently wrote me and said that some of my blog entries lately had been "kind of down." I hadn't really thought they had, other than the one about crying watching Wilson the volleyball, but then Posted by GregW in Greg Wesson's Esoteric Globe | Jul 12, 2008

As I type, I am looking out the window of the bedroom I am staying in at the hills of Wales! It's just beautiful. It has been raining here quite a bit and everything is green green green!

So yesterday we headed to the coastal city of Portsmouth (about an hour away) to check out the factory outlets and surrounding sights. It was a windy/sunny/cloudy day (as usual) so check it out:

Today we were up in time (yay!) The main attractions today were Stonehenge and Bath.
We took a bus to Stonehenge first, which was about a two-hour drive. It looks just like the pictures. I was quite disappointed Posted by azolad in The Big Three | Jul 4, 2008

Fish in a sea of weird and wonderful accents, we arrived at Heathrow after what felt like an extended long-haul flight, although it was only 13 hours. Although 13 hours without any entertainment system working is a long 13 hours... Posted by joshtracey in Josh & Tracey's Adventures | Jul 4, 2008

This morning neither my alarm nor Shaunie’s woke us up. Luckily one of her students knocked on our door (which I still didn’t hear)—giving us less than 20 minutes to get dressed and eat breakfast. We managed to Posted by azolad in The Big Three | Jul 3, 2008

So I arrived in London at 6:50am, even though the flight left late (we didn’t take off until 6:40pm) we still arrived early. I slept somewhat on the plane, almost more like a daze. There was no need Posted by azolad in The Big Three | Jul 2, 2008

Crumpets, for all their connotations with the English are a nightmare to find. Finally found some in Morrisons and ate them at Owen’s. They’re kind of like pancakes that are just made in their texture and are fairly tasty. Posted by robinpeake in Robin Peake | Jun 27, 2008
