So yesterday we got on a train and went to a city called Truro in Cornwall. The train ride was really cool. It was beautiful. The countryside was amazing and the houses are all stacked ontop of eachother in the cities.
Here is a map that shows where it is: http://www.multimap.com/world/GB/England/Cornwall. I am staying in Plymouth. We wanted to go see a castle but buses dont run very often on Sunday so we missed the bus.The city was pretty neat except alot of things over here are closed on Sunday. We went out to eat at this cafe and got burgers but they do not taste like American burgers. I am having withdrawals for good food. I haven't eaten a whole lot over here because nothing over here tastes good. I am still trying food but I havent really found anything I like except their pastries. Those are good, but I cant eat pastries all the time.
We went to a cathedral in the city that was very large and beautiful. It was built in t
he 1400's, which is pretty neat. It amazes me that they were able to construct such large and intricate buildings with the technology that they had.
Today at school, my teacher was actually there the whole day. I really enjoy watching her teach and am taking notes for all the strategies I want to use in my classroom.
I thought of some other words that are different here:
pants = trousers
underwear = pants
trash = rubbish
trash can = bin
clean = tidy
principal = head teacher
substitute teacher = supply teacher
Love you all and miss you,
Elyse
