July 29, 2009
















Today we woke up and went to Stamford which is a cool town just outside of London. We were able to visit the Burghley House which was lots of fun. The house was so beautiful on the inside. But once again we were unable to take photos. So I took a few of the outside. The outside was nice and humongous with beautiful gardens...imagine that...a house we visited with beautiful gardens sounds a little too familiar. Anyway the house has it's own deer and they are really friendly and they would come up to you and let you pet them. They were sassy little deer but I guess I would too if I got to just roam around the grounds of the Burghley house. After we toured the inside of the house which was stunning such marquetry and beautiful beds, rugs, artwork you name it. Our professor Darrin was really excited to be there he made the tour fun because he pointed out all of the things that we normally would have overlookd. And Erika made the best comment ever saying to Susie that Darrin is so horny for Pride and Prejudice which is a movie that was filmed at the house. We laughed and Darrin has such a good sense of humor he too found it funny. We may have a surprise brewing for him in the future. Anyway after that we went to Stamford and walked around the town and went shopping and I got a couple of cute items. After that we went back to London, and Erika and I went out to this pub by our flat and we meet some nice people from Japan, and Italy, and the food conniseour of London. Then we came back to our flat and all the people from Temple were having a party so we hung out with them for awhile and then went to bed. I met a really nice girl named Tonya also from Temple studying broadcasting and she was fun to talk to. We had a really good day.
