So the other day I posted something on our blog and of course I was trying to make people laugh while I was writing about our adventures. However, Graham stays up all night the other night and thinks all day (which is why we lapsed a day on our blog) so he could think of something funnier to out-do me. So I am going to win this by not trying to be funny. I will just tell you that today we took a train out to Sussex where we travelled around with a Queen's professor. This is a man that Graham met while working at Frontenac and still kept in touch with. He took us around the country side and show us all the historical and famously geographical sites...I know sounds boring, but really it was quite neat. We went to a little pub had some foreign beer and were off being tourists again. All in all it was a quiet day of being toured around by an elderly man (50ish..just kidding all you parents/grandparents reading this; he was just plain old). We came back to the house and had a grand dinner prepared for us.
Tomorrow we are off to London again. It's our last day in England so we're going to be taking the open-top/double decker bus tour tomorrow to see all the sights that we have walked and then out for dinner. On Wednesday we will be leaving our lavish lifestyle behind and trading it up for eating stale bread under bridges or hostels infested by bed begs....woooooo!
Hope you are all doing well. PS thanks for posting back to us it makes us feel like you haven't forgetten about us over here in poor old Europe. By the way Sarah, your Queen's bus pass has gotten me in as a student b/c it has a 2009 sticker, so thank you for saving me money!
Cheerio! (oh and don't worry soon we'll stop typing in British accents and start typing in French...b/c you are all reading this with a British accent right?)

Well it is a tough call to see who has the most entertaining info. Love hearing about the sites you have visited and we are reading about it in the Canadian Accent.

Hey Jess, we've been trying to out do Mr. Funny for years, to no avail - except this one time, at band camp - but the judge issued a gag order on that. Great post (except the part about the really old guy). We look forward with eager anticipation to the next - whoever writes it. Big hug to you both! P+B xxxooo
ReplyDeletePS Emma - whats up wid dat? how could your day at work be any better? are you even allowed to surf the inter-web?
I too am enjoying the quips and funnies...it makes my day! Glad you met up with the professor. As I am entering my sixth decade soon I would wager he has almost one more than me under his belt. Bet he was a great guide. Have fun young people and I look forward to hearing more as you venture.
