End of Nottingham

And so, amidst many tears, I left Nottingham behind this morning. Well- afternoon. That's not the point.

I was very sad to leave- I had an unbelievably amazing time. Monday, Hannah, James, Mel and I went to an amusement park called Alton Towers which was AMAZING. The only amusement park I've ever really been to was Disneyland, and while Disneyland holds many keys to my heart, it's got nothing on Alton Towers. We went on rides, we picnicked, we were almost killed by a pine cone, we went on more rides. I was horribly deceived by the sweet English sun and sunburned myself. We staggered back to Mel's and collapsed by 10. DELIGHTFUL.

Tuesday was spent lazing and recovering- James came round for a bit, and then we went and lazed in the garden. Mel's Mom made Yorkshire Pudding for dinner- it is SO TASTY I am so impressed with British food. It looks bland and brown, but is in fact a PARTY for your mouth.

Today I managed to navigate: (1) bus (3) train stations and (2) strange towns ALL BY MYSELF. I am totally getting the hang of this navigating thing.

So I don't have many Nottingham pictures, because Mel was also taking them and I got lazy. But what I have are Here!
