SO its been about two days since I was able to post ! The internet at the place I am currently staying still isn't working just yet. We aren't so sure as to why but there you go. Yesterday I went to town with Mike when he went into see his mom. She's in the hospital because she broke her back. The town the hospital is in is just a little bit bigger than Perkins but smaller than Stillwater. I needed to pick up a few things I forgot at home like Q-tips and finger nail clippers so Mike parked in the hospital parking lot and I walked the 6 or 8 blocks to the town square where most of the shops are. I walked around and looked in a lot of the little local stores and quite different than towns in the U.S. Once I had gotten what I needed I headed back to the hospital and passed this amazing little baptist church. It was oh around 200 or 250 years old. It was so gorgeous. There was a graveyard surrounding the entire church and it was so amazing. I would upload pictures but I don't have my cord with me at the moment. The headstones were so interesting to read. They headstones would have the dates of the husband, wife and the child's names and death dates. I thought that was so odd, but still so amazing. Once the headstones had fallen over the church picked them up and lined the stone walls with them. So there were many more headstones than there seemed to be at first glance. Once I was finished walking around the church it was time to meet Mike back at the hospital. We had to go to the grocery store and get me a refill on my phone card. Then it was back home to cook dinner and prepare for today!
Today I am staying at the home of some of Mikes friends, Holly and David. They live in Pembrokeshire which is in the far south of Wales. They own Dexters as well. Guess thats why I'm staying here! lol. They use Dexters as a way to conserve the land. Their set up is actually really interesting. I'm not sure how it all works but I will find that out in the next couple days that I will be here, and then its back to Mike and Kim's! We went to supper at a pub in the little town next to where they live. It was located right on the sea. I ate Fish and Chips for dinner just because I couldn't come to the UK and not have it at least once! It wasn't that bad actually!
Then on the way home we drove along the coast and drove past some amazing old buildings. I love the history of this country it is wonderful. I can't believe that some of the buildings that are here have survived as long as they have its wonderful
Well thats a little update. I will update again tomorrow. Since I will for sure have internet until Saturday!
