day 2.

hello from Chester, England!

we took the train from London today and headed over to Chester...we met a lovely lady on the train and talked about The States, Edinburgh, Italy...

ok, so...top things i've learned today:

1. there are a lot of sheep in England...(little lambies!)

2. every building looks old. EVERY one. (picture Pride & Prejudice)

3. England is quite dreary on a rainy day...and it might make you miserable :/

4. British people use the words "fantastic" and "rubbish" a lot

5. accents are pretty easy to pick up...but it's almost embarrassing when you slip on saying a word in an accent and the rest of your conversation is without. (examples: mum, saw-ry..)

6. people have really cool haircuts. i'm almost tempted to get mine done over here..

7. stores close around 5:30pm (which is pretty unfortunate)

8. the Carriage House in Chester has the best fish and chips. literally - amazing.

9. taxis are fun to take...but pretty expensive.

10. the commercials over here are either hilarious or terrifyingly awkward

we are headed to Liverpool to visit a friend tomorrow, then on to Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow night. hooray!!

here are a few photos from Chester..
