A sun-sational day

Like my title, clever isn't it? Today was another wonderful day. The Trailblazing Trio set off relatively early for Keswick. Once we got there, we walked around and ended up back at Crow Park, where we ate lunch on Thursday. There wasn't too many people there when we arrived at our spot but as lunch time creeped closer, more people began to show up.

The three of us read, wrote, soaked in the sun, and played a little frisbee. We ate lunch and then wandered around the city for a while longer. Then it was back to the bus and back to Grasmere. Kaitlin and I were in charge of dinner, we made tuna fish sandwiches and potatoes. The group was pretty quiet; we must have been really hungry. Once we started talking, we exchanged stories about what we did today and things we were looking forward to the rest of the week. Dr. Bob then talked about our plan of attack for tomorrow. We are headed south for Coniston and Hawkshead. In Coniston is the home of John Ruskin, a famous Victorian art critic who shared similar ideals and values about nature that William Wordsworth had. We'll ride a boat on Lake Coniston and then go to Hawkshead, the place where Wordsworth went to school. A full day indeed.
