Sunday, summarized

Today, I went on a tour of various Norfolk areas of interest with a tour organized by the Dean of Students office. We went to Caistor St. Edmunds, Ranworth Broad (and the church there), and Blickling Hall. It was pretty exciting. I climbed the tower of the church at Ranworth--St. Helen's--and I thought I was going to die. Lots of evil, narrow, twisting stairs leading to two dark ladders, which then go through a trap door on which I hit my head. The top was amazing, but I'm not sure it was worth the utter terror I endured. Not even kidding. I suppose it wasn't as bad as Chichen Itza, but it was close. And I couldn't have gone down on my backside like I did in Mexico. I hung out with this guy from Japan I met on the bus. He was nice. I also met another girl from Pennsylvania, and a girl from Zimbabwe who's on a term abroad from Mount Holyoake. Oh, and the weather behaved beautifully! It's been raining for most of the past week, and the past two days have been clear. It's lovely--especially after being caught in the rain with no coat or umbrella twice!



Sorry this entry was rather sparse. In compensation, farm animals!

Top: Sheep, Bottom: Cows. This was at Caistor St. Edmund, an old Roman camp. You can still see

the wall in some parts, and when its dry, you can see the roads if you fly over. Now it's all grown over and home to grazing sheep. If sheep and grass have reclaimed an old Roman site, we really don't count for much, do we?
