Oct 23rd

they had an EPIC armory! 
Wow, some might ask how I can be so late on a blog.... and i would probably say something sassy back. but for now I am just going to apologies, as you will soon see it has been a busy week!
No big deal, just the fence in my humble abode 
After the wonderful boarders trip I went on a tour with Thea (the girl I met During Oktoberfest) to Northern England. First we went to Bamburgh Castle where they filmed Macbeth. However, it was beautiful and well preserved. They had a great museum through the entire castle which was a hoot! Then we hopped back on the bus and went to the Alnwick Castle, this castle is still "running." And my favorite was in the very beginning when walking through the gate there is a sign that says "welcome to our family home". Yeah, if only i had a family home that looked like that. Legit HUGE! Also this is the castle they filmed lots of harry potter in it. Imagine the broom lessons in the first harry potter, yup that was here! So of course Thea and I ran around on our imaginary brooms (good thing it was sunday and pretty rainy and empty cause we looked a bit gooofy!)
Big man wallace!
We also wondered around the town of Alnwick which was a pretty cool town (but since it was sunday not many places were open). But I did find some shortbread tarts, but instead of being filled with lame fruit it was filled with caramel and chocolate, needless i got a pack of six and ate them all at once and had a stomach ache for the rest of the trip, but totally worth it, i would do it again!

From there we when to a trail head that lead to the wallace monument. William Wallace was this crazy fighter guy that fought famously against the British in hopes of regaining the Scottish pride. The statue was gigantic! i mean i don't think i would have even come up to the top of his boot!
For our last stop we went to the Scotts View, which if you were paying attention in my last blog you would already know about it, so i little test for all you guys!
Stay posted for DUBLIN!
