BILLY JOEL!!!

So I am no once again convinced that Billy Joel should be a God! He brings people together, I am in my room and I have my music on and Mariann is sleeping on my bed and Delaney comes in and is like do you have "For the longest Time" and I am like HELL YEA!! So I put it on...her and I start Jamming and Mariann wakes up and gets into it and then Clare and Joe join and we just jammed to the whole song together..sounded pretty damn good too! It's moments like that, that really make me love it here!
TODAY IS HALLOWEEN!!! Marianna, Prerna, Clare, Alice and Kelly are decorating our living room for the party tonight. It is really great to see how excited the Europeans are getting! We have a skeleton, cob webs, fake blood, a decapitated hand...IT;S AWESOME!!!
This whole [ast week has been learning week...which means I am going traveling!!! Mariann, Prerna, Kelly, David and I went to Oxford, Surray, Bath and Bristol.
The first place we went was Oxford...holy mother of God it was BEAUTIFUL!!! We stayed in a hostel called Funky Hostel..and it lived up to it's name. Prerna is convinced she got bitten by bed bugs. And I woke up to a man starring at me. But we had a fun night, we played pool with two New Zealnad boys who weren;t that bad lookin either! We went to the markets and had tea, to christ church where they filmed some Harry Potter and Mulvern College which is rated one of the most beautiful colleges in the Uk and only 600 kids study there.
The next day we went to Surrey and stayed in a lovely BandB. But that city was pretty much a wash out.
Then we went to Bath!!! Holy crap it is beautiful! The Romans were mainly the ones who built it up so there were many influences. We went to the Abby which was gergouse! Bishop Oliver King had a dream about restoring it with angels ascending and desecending ladders, It was pretty cool to see. (I lit a candle for Kenny ma!) Then we went to the roman baths. They gave us these audio things to put around our necks to listen to..Iswear with my camera, bag, and this damn audio thing all I needed was a fanny pack and a kid yelling "ma! ma! I;m bored!" But the whole roman bath thing was amazing! But then at night we went to the Spa. The water in bath comes from the ground like in Colorado so its all natural and good for you! We spent four hours there. They had a rooftop pool that overlooked the city...it is crazy to float and look at the stars and then look out on the horizon and see the moon and Bath Abby. The next day we went to stonhenge!!! It was really nice but kinda like the mona lisa...dissapointing...I mean it is a pile of rocks!! But the cool thing I kept thinking was my dad and aunt were there and when they went they could touch it. Not now though they have it roped off. But I really liked it! On the bus ride back I pulled a mom and woke everyone up for a rainbow...I thought it was very worth it!
And then today we stopped in Bristol and saw the SS Britain. Pretty damn cool to look at! And now I am home!
