Canterbury!!

We finally took a day to explore with some great friends we have over here. We spent the day in Canterbury. Those of you with English Degrees, might remember Canterbury from such famous Chaucer works as "Canterbury Tales". While we didn't see the animatronic celebrity voice driven Canterbury Tales exhibit we did see lots! We saw the candy store which did all the candy for the newer Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Movie. we saw many neat shops and stores. We went on a little river cruise with Captain Thom and saw a duck!




One of the most amazing things was the Cathedral. It was so beautiful. With everything here being so old there are so many stories and tales about everything it makes each notch on every pew so rich in history. We just don't have that at home so it's very neat to see these things.













Above you see me enjoying some Peruvian Rice and Potatoes with Lime and Chili Sauce in Stir Fried Vegetables. I know crazy right? It's not cheese and bread. It was delicious. I hope I am this brave to keep eating weird (for me) food when I get home.

Below is Ben locking me into a phone booth. Not really, but I am inside and he is out. Sneaky. Overall it was a really fun day. We need to make sure we take the days like this to enjoy ourselves so we don't get burnt out at school.

Remember to take a day or two just to completely relax, too. Exploring can be exhausting, too. :)
Love ya!
