back in london...have i been here before???

ok...just left rob and his family in barnstaple, devon. so disappointed to leave but this means i only have two more days until im home! yay! the rest of my stay in devon was awesome. we partied for rob's birthday with all his mates(happy 22nd rob!). toured the countryside extensively...its so gorgeous and green. the weather reminded me of home, making me a little homesick. and rob's family was amazing. took care of me like my own family would and i cant wait to go back and visit. i am now addicted to cream tea...yummy! and also anything blackcurrant flavoured.

had my one last day in london(i think ive said that before) and went back to notting hill to get my final patch for my backpack(picked you up one too carolyn...not the mind the gap one but still a good one). then went to the british museum to see all the things that we should have seen along the way. ie. frienze's from the parthenon, greek and roman statues, weapons of early europeans, etc. it was way interesting but got hard to look at after a couple hours since there was just sooo much of it. went into the reading room and took a test on my knowledge of greek gods and godesses...not too great but im not inept either. although i think carolyn would have kicked butt at that game.

now im just worrying about getting home tomorrow as all the uk airports are tightening security measures and delaying flights by about 6 or 7 hours after a terror threat has come in. go london police though...they thwarted it with 21 arrests last night. darn...this might mean that i cant work on sunday....boo-urns...hehehehe(evil laugh).

alrighty...i hope to see you all very soon! white rock here i come! yay!

devon countryside

well...i wasnt going to post about devon until i was done here but seeing as the girls have already posted...im feeling a little guilty.

alright so ive been in devon for almost a week now and it is lovely. rob's family is great(they feel just like my own family in some ways). they have taken me to the beach twice(where all our stuff was washed away while we played american football), shopping around town(for rob's bday present), to the movies(pirates of the carribean 2...strange but ok) and everywhere in between. as i am sure you have read in carolyn and lauren's blogs, though, the highlight was the Big Sheep...a theme park based on sheep! lol! complete with sheep racing(they even had little toy sheep as jockeys on the real sheep...velcroed on!). im enjoying myself so much im thinking of skipping ireland in favour of staying a few extra days here. well...that's all for now. im going back to relaxing and reading my book.

ps. a message to the ADU...all is lost...rob kicked my butt at bowling. in my defence it just wasnt the same without you guys!
