July 29th

Seriously! Everyday just gets better and better! I freaking love it here! This morning we took yet another trian to Petersborough, from there we took a bus to the Burgley House. When we got there, there was a big heard of deer in front of the house. Anybody that knows me knows that I'm not a fan of any animal that has hooves...due to my lovely expereince that I had while working in Yellowstone! Anyways, so I wasn't too excited to get out and walk up by them. Apperently they are very friendly and they'll let you pet them and feed them but I made a bee-line for the enterance. The Burgley House was really cool, one of the coolest rooms was the Heaven Room which was filmed in movies like The DaVinci Code and the newer Pride and Prejudice. The interior was over the top with embelishments and the finest furniture at the time. The gardens were pretty too. We were able to eat lunch at the Orangery Restraunt in the Burgley House, it was there that I was able to experience an English scone and clotted cream with hot chocolate made with Cadbury chocolate. All of it was SO delicious! I loved the scone, they are a lot like a biscuty texture with raisins in it and the clotted cream is like butter but 100 times better and creamier! So good...I could feel my arteries starting to clog but oh my...it was so good! After the Burgley House, we got back on the bus and headed to Stamford. Stamford is one of the oldest towns in England. The streets were also filmed in the movie Pride and Prejudice. It's a really neat and charming little town...if the streets could talk! We found this great little place that had the most amazing pasties! I got one with cheese in it, it was so good! It just warmed me right up! It has been pretty chilly here in Enland, its rained almost everyday sense we've been in the UK. I don't really mind though, I like rainy weather, I think its better than being freaking hot. Our time in Stamford was short lived and we had to head back to the train station to catch our train back to London. Well the night was still young so Bec and I went and had dinner and tried out a traditional English dinner, which is roast beef, potatoes, veggies, and yorkshire pudding. It was pretty good as you can see in the picture. After dinner we wanted to go to the London Eye! I was so excited and it was something that I totally had to do while here in London. It was so much fun! We met two really nice guys in our capsule, one was actually from Utah but lives in Washington now. He was there on a business trip. Anyways, they were really nice. As you can see from my pictures, Bec and I had some good times with the camera. We got off the Eye and this freakish wind/rain came. Umberellas were completely useless! It was pretty funny. It was such a good day, I could die happy right now! Life couldn't be more grand!:)
