Day three in England!!!

I woke up before my aunt and went into the bathroom to get some water with one of the cups they had on a table. A few minutes later Sarah woke up to me watching the t.v. ! We walked down the hall to the lobby and I sat on the red velvet couch while she checked us out. I grabbed my bag and an employee brought around our car! The ride back was really less awkward then the ride up because we had much more to talk about. We first stopped at castle rising and it was so beautiful we went inside and then I realized that this castle was not the kind where a tour guide takes you around, shows you all the rooms, and when you get hungry you can go and eat at the ball room they have turned into a diner. Oh no this was the kind of castle where the walls are practically falling down and where there used to be floor there was now dirt. Next we both hopped into the car and we pulled out of the driveway as we drove down the road the clouds rolled in, and a few minutes later it started raining. By the time we got to Castle Acre it was POURING!!! I got out of the car and Sarah and I dashed towards the castle. Once I got out of the rain I realized that this castle was less of a museum and more of a mystical wonderland! With grass coming out of the old window seals and the green green grass!!! I think this was my favorite part of the whole trip! We ran inside and Sarah made asked the woman how long until the next tour she answered about ten minutes! Ten minutes later a woman came out and took us around to see the beautiful castle. When we were done she took me home, we had dinner, and I fell asleep!

Great visit to England, Maddy. It is so fun to travel with you. I like the variety of adventures and discoveries you planned and reported on. So glad to see you beginning to use links. Maybe some music (unique to the place you are visiting) or moving images next time.

Only thing missing is a charitable organization. Thanks for taking me along.
