blacks in england!

we had off today..all day! : ) i slept in (until 9), finished my book!, and ate an amazing omelette made by the baby of the family..what a great way to start the day! after a few episodes of true blood (the fanatics are trying to get me addicted!), we headed into town--this time for a more historic view.

we took the bus to the guildford town centre and walked to the Guildford Castle. it was quite pretty and smelled of lavender..and some other flowers. we strolled around the castle grounds for quite some time. after watching an intense game of "bowls" and being kicked out of the castle museum for lack of funds we made our way to High Street and took a walk along the granite setting (like cobblestone) streets that we learned about at the museum! putting knowledge into action-how cool! : )

the highlight of the day came when two of my teammates and i came across our very own store! needless to say we were quite surprised..and enthused..at the idea of owning a piece of england-among other things. it's official..blacks are in england..and now we know where to shop.

i headed home with a smile of shock and enjoyed the last of our family dinners (spicy chili perfected by miss phaidra knight!) with my podmates. tomorrow we move to the official world cup dorms where we will stay for the duration of the trip. it's no fun to pack up and move, but im pretty excited to join the masses at the women's rugby world cup in london 2010! : )
