After 3 cool and frenetic days in London, we now have the most peaceful respite imaginable. Hannah met me in London. We did SOOO much and I never saw a palace or a royal or Big Ben. That city really is big. I still feel like there are hundreds of quaint neighborhoods I haven’t seen.
After walking 20k+ steps per day we have landed in Broadstairs, England. Don’t feel badly if you haven’t heard of it, no one has. Suffice it to say, it has chalk cliffs just like the nearby ones at Dover and we can see the house where supposedly Charles Dickens wrote Bleak House. Yes the cliffs are really made out of actual chalk that you can use to draw. On the way there we stopped for lunch in Canterbury. Very old and quaint. The house we’re in is anything but bleak, in fact it only5 years young and a modern marvel. It’s only inhabitant while we are here is a highly spoiled fancy small dog named Luna that only walks when and where she wants to. Lucky for us, her favorite place to walk is the beach.
I have now made my way all the way to London and I have lots more stories to tell about Liverpool and the Isle of Man so I’m cutting this post short. I had enough excitement for one week on the train and I don’t need to fabricateany more right now.
Happy Birthday to Jean!💕💕
