Sunglasses at Night
So one of the cool things about being here is that the sun stays up until 10pm. I’m anxious to not be alone in my hotel room, so the sun being up affords us all lots of opportunity to take advantage of being in a new place. This week there’s been about 4 or 5 of us who have been hanging out together. On Tues night (the only day we’ve had nice weather) we took a hike to Ham Hill. I guess its named for the hamstone that is mined there that they use to make the houses in this county. On top of the hill is a statue that pays tribute to the men who died in the ‘Great War’, World War I, from this area. The whole trip was 2.5 hrs roundtrip, including the stop at the Half Moon pub for a beer. ;-) Anyway, we had to take the public paths to get there, and just to give you an idea, this is what a public path consists of:
Walking Through Cow Fields
Going Under Electrified Fences
Running Across the Highway
Checking out the Scenery
Climbing up the Hill
Finally the Statue (dedicated on my birthday, by the way)
Alrighty, everyone out there in the blogosphere, please hope for sunny days in England for the next 4 weeks. I’m ready to come home and we need good weather for the testing!
