She has Tom with her who is an older gentleman who is learning to become a guide. \240He is retired. \240He has a strong Irish accent. \240He was pleased to hear sean was from Kentucky but disappointed when Sean said he didn’t keep up with the race horses lol. \240

We visited the medieval museum at Waterford today. \240Many interesting artifacts from long ago. \240 They told us so many things I can’t remember them all presently.

Conwy castle

We went to Conwy Castle today. \240It was absolutely breathtaking. \240 It was cold and windy but it didn’t take away from the magnificence of it.

There was a shop called the “The Knight Shop”. \240Which Sean loved. \240 We ate lunch. \240He had fish and chips and I had a cheese and onion slice. \240 Which was just flaking bread with cheese sauce and onion in the middle. \240It seemed like a good idea at the time but later I regretted it. \240Lol

Before getting to Conway castel we stopped at a little place called “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales”. \240 It means "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave.” \240I bought welsh cakes there

Traveling to Edinburgh. \240 We officially made it into England. \240 We stop at Lake Windermere for a boat ride across. \240It was freezing but beautiful. \240It was also very scenic on the way there. \240 The stone fences were everywhere. \240 It was just unbelievable how far and wide they went. \240And Ofcourse sheep everywhere. \240We stopped at a town called Keski? \240 We ate lunch there. \240It was raining and cold. \240We ate fish and am chips on a sidewalk bench. Visit a couple of shops and went back to the bus. \240We bought a _____ there. \240Supposed to be an energy bar for mountain climbers. \240It was pure sugar with mint. \240 The mint was very strong.

We have finally made it into Scotland. \240We stopped at a small shop for a bathroom break. \240Kelly recommended we buy a irenbrue. \240It’s like the coke of the states. \240 It tastes like bubble gum. \240Not bad not great. \240I bought some souvenirs for Everleigh and zack while I was there. \240

Scotland has gone by in a blur. \240 We are headed to our train to go to London today. \240Yesterday we were in Edinburg. \240We saw Edinburg castel, the soldier memorial and the Crown Jewels. \240 We then ventured down the Royal Mile. \240There we saw the famous dog statue Bobby, of the dog who mourned his owner for 13 years. \240We also hunted down the cemetery where JK Rowling found the names of some of her character. We found McGonagall, moodie, potter, and Thomas riddle. \240😱

We went in a cafe and ordered delicious scones and coffee. \240

We bought souvenirs. \240 And then ended the day in a beautiful park where we could see the castle and the beautiful buildings in Edinburg. \240

After that we met with the group and had pizza and pasta at Jollys ristorante. \240

In Scotland I tried tea instead of coffee for my early morning start. \240It was surprisingly good and helped to wake me up. \240I enjoyed it a lot

I also rediscovered crescents and nutella. \240Oh nothing is better I promise. \240

While here we decided to try the haggas. \240I was scared but thought what the heck. \240It wasn’t near as bad as I thought it would be. \240 It tasted like stuffing. \240Sean also tried it and agreed. \240

I’m addition to the jk \240Rowling inspirations, we saw the hotel she stayed in while she finished the last Harry Potter book the deathly hallows. \240 It was called the Balmoral. \240We also saw a building that was thoi
