As classes wind up I've been busy...but not with school. We (my classmates and I) have been out trying to fit in various things we all wanted to do in England but hadn't gotten around to doing yet. This month will be nice and busy and so far lots of pictures to share :D
I've started working at the library again which is fun :) Sitting at one of my bus stops I saw this milk truck. Yes, there are still trucks just for milk! There are probably some in the States somewhere too, but I've never seen them before. I thought this was too cute not to take a picture of.
Share my Coke??? This is a new thing on the UK bottles. It amuses me, but I don't share :P
I went a Manchester City game! This is the stadium for the City team.
There were police on horses patrolling the stadium, in English saddles of course. I'm easily amused, sorry. But also there's a horse!
Whenever you go to a game you are obligated to have a hot dog, right?
Since I'm in the UK I ordered fish and chips to watch a soccer game. It was good, but it's just not the same as ordering a ballpark hot dog with everything on it.
But I was really there...
Manchester City is the light blue guys. Whoo!
Manchester City won!
Afterwards they immediately started mowing. Again, I'm easily amused. I just though it was cute, all of them mowing together >.<
Then it was work, work, work then SATURDAY! My friend talked me into going on a trip with the international society to Snowdonia which is the second largest national park in the UK, located in Wales. It was AMAZING. I'm now also planning on going on a trip with them to the Lake District now :D
We took the mountain railway up to the top of the mountain, Snow was the name of it (I think). The tallest one in the park (and Wales)
This is a spot we found wandering around before we got on the train. Gorgeous.
On the whole ride up the mountain is was pretty much this foggy. We got to the top and saw...nothing O.o It was also very cold. We took pictures then hurried inside to warm up and buy a few little souvenirs.
Our train as we get ready to go back down.
As we descended it started to clear up!
It was also raining intermittedly. There are a number of hiking trails up the mountain too and we saw lots of hikers out. Some were smiling, it mostly look miserable though. It was cold, foggy, and rainy. They looked wet and cold, but some were still smiling! The ones in just windbreakers and shorts were the ones not smiling...
The ride down was breathtaking. Beautiful landscapes that we hadn't realized we were passing on the way up.
This is the train we rode on, the Yeti :D
Down at the base of the mountain there were sheep in the soccer field!
The little town where we got on the train from.
We went to Swallow Falls which was very cool. Then looked around a little Welsh town there in Snowdonia.
You'll be amazed to know this, I'm sure. There are lots of sheep in the UK :P I thought I'd get tired of them by the end of the day but they were still adorable on the way home. Mostly because of the lambs...So cute.
