7:30 came way too early this morning. We didn't get back from our ghost hunt until after midnight, and it was actually cold enough outside that I woke up and had to throw the big blanket back on.
Free day today, but everybody decided to do the wall walk. On the way, we saw the remains of an abbey--not much more than a few walls left--that Henry VIII destroyed in the change from Catholicism to Anglicanism.
The wall walk was pretty cool, but very slow. We finished up the first half around 11:30, then took a break till one for lunch. I wasn't paying attention, and accidentally supported the French economy by eating at Pret a Manger. That's something I'll be more careful about in the future.
Unfortunately, only five of us decided to finish the walk--Alyssa, Emily, Erin, Rob and I--and when Corliss failed to show up (we later discovered that sh
e'd been delayed at lunch), morale plummeted, and I was the only one who finished the wall walk. It was fairly interesting; nice scenery, got a few good pictures, but pretty much more of the same. Really, i finished the wall out of principle. Only doing half of the wall walk would be like only going halfway up the Empire State Building, or setting out to swim the English Channel and quitting half way across. You can't say you've done the wall walk after only going half way.
Ok, enough ranting. Dinner at ASK, an Italian restaurant. Good spaghetti, and good (but way too expensive) garlic bread. It was set up in an old council hall, so there were columns all over; it set up a great atmosphere. After dinner, it was back to the B&B, journaling, and then time for bed.
