It is All Down Hill From Here


Yesterday I arrived in Lincoln. It is a great town. Settled by the Romans, it has one of the first castles built when William of Normandy came over to conquer. The castle houses one of the four original Magna Cartas. The streets are narrow and cobblestone. Yesterday I just walked around, which is kind of an effort in and among itself. The main street in Lincoln includes Steep Hill. I thought the B&B owner just labeled it that on the map to warn me, but that is the actual name of the street. You can see it here. There are several places to stop along the way because it is so steep. Today I am going to the castle and maybe a boat tour. Breakfast in England is yummy. They stuff you full of food and send you on your way. Most days I just eat a small snack before dinner. Snacks are from the US- I brought peanut butter crackers and granola bars. Dinners are usually something from a local market or corner store. I am saving up for London. I am sooo afraid of what London will be like, money-wise. Tomorrow Linda joins me, and she promises to rip her jeans too so we can be twins.

Hope you brought your galleons! London is the beginning of the official HP vacation, right?!?!

Are you going to France? If so, get some pics of Angie's twins.
