And the beat goes on...

Okay, so, lots to tell, lots to tell. This past weekend, Kristen and I went to a town called Corby in Northamtonshire. We went to see a decrepit castle called Kirby Hall and it was really cool. Unlike many of the other castles around England, the historical society decided to not completely refurbish it to its original grandeur. It was still really beautiful. We got to see a lot of English countryside (full of lots and lots of sheep), and also go to explore some small English villages. These villages didn't have so much as a gas station, just really old houses and couple of pubs (because it wouldn't be English if there wasn't a pub or two). We rode the trains out and back, so that was an experience in itself. I spent a grand total of fifteen minutes in London switching trains, but what I saw was cool. I think the other JYAs and myself are planning a trip to London soon. We are all so busy here that we forget to travel. For instance, the Cambridge Union Society is having a wine tasting Thursday night that Jacque and I are going to. Still grappling with how much it costs to live in general...buying groceries sucks. Other than that, things are great. We had our first rugby game last Thursday...we won 12-8. I play a forward, and if you don't know what that is, you should go watch a rugby game, because it is awesome!!! My favorite quote so far from an Englishman is that "Futbol (soccer) is a gentleman's game played by barbarians, but rugby is a barbarian's game played by gentlemen." Here's to the gentlemen. Well, that's all for now, but I will try to post again before another week passes before my unsuspecting eyes. Much love to all.

Cheers!
