Day 2 - 5/1/11















After a full day yesterday, I fell asleep at 9:00 trying to read the article for today. Despite being afraid I'd sleep late, I actually woke up at 7 without my alarm and was the second person down to eat breakfast. Today we're traveling over to Holy Island, which was initially settled by Anglo-Saxon monks in 635 AD, then down to Hadrian's Wall, built by the Romans after they decided that conquering what was then ruled by the barbarian Picts wasn't worthwhile. Finally got my phone working on the wifi here at our hotel so I'll hopefully be uploading a few more pictures daily.

  1. Thanks for doing the blog Josh. This reminds me of when I was in England. Do you like the sausage? It's not what you think, but just don't think about it and eat it. It's good for you. Breakfast is the biggest meal we ate there too. How are you doing finding coffee? I just finally gave in and drank tea. Take care and have a good time.
