Country walk (otherwise known as 8 mile death march)


In his quest to make us well-rounded, Renaissance students (or maybe just to tear some of us away from the playhouse), our coordinator, Brett, organized a country walk. Cool. People in Britain are into walking. Or at least they walk a lot in the six hour Pride and Prejudice. Like, a very lot. Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all...

The bad news: it was 8 miles long. The good news: the day was beautiful, and I totally see why Elizabeth Bennett spends a good two hours out of the six traipsing across the countryside. I may not be the biggest fan of rain, but it was all so green and gorgeous! We sang songs from obscure musicals, talked about favorite books, and took lots of pictures. ("It's just a field," said our guide, but that didn't stop us!) It was nice to get out in the country for a day.
