Today was another group trip day. We boarded a bus headed north quite early this morning. But on the plus side, Dr. Bob bought us seven day unlimited bus travel passes. That means the Trailblazing Trio is going to have some serious fun.
Our destination today was Keswick and from there we got on another bus headed west. We ended up at Honiston, a slate mine. It's both an operational mine and a mine open for tours. A man named Roland lead the tour; we donned hats and ventured into part of the mine. Roland explained how the mine worked in the Victorian era and then now the mine works today. It was a bit chilly down there but still interesting.
We had lunch outside and then the Trailblazing Trio went on a mini hike while we were waiting for a bus. we definitely didn't get our usual ten miles in, which made me really sad. I'm just kind of use to it now. We hopped on a bus and rode it back to Keswick, taking in the landscape as we went.
Back at the cottage a little after five, it was time for the Trailblazing Trio to make dinner once again. We made pizza this time and steamed asparagus and carrots. Delicious.
We don't have class tonight so I'll do some reading and writing before heading to bed.
