Swing dancing last night was so much fun and also allowed several of us American ladies to dance with some of the UK's sweatiest residents! Apparently when attending dance lessons, you're supposed to bring your partner with you. Our group consisted of 5 or 6 guys... and about 25 girls. So, they arranged for us to "rotate" partners every few minutes, so all the girls would be able to have a partner at one point or another. All in all, it was a productive session - pretty sure I'll be ready to try out for that "So You Think You Can Dance?" show when I get back. Unfortunately, there was so much swinging & dancing that no one had time to take pictures!
Today we went on our first field trip, to St. Albans. It's named after St. Alban (surprise!), who was the first Christian martyr in Britain. In St. Albans we visited a huge cathedral, a museum, remains of a Roman theatre, and several mosaics.
Also, I found cute flowers & some sheep.
Whoops, I guess you can't see the sheep very well. That picture was mostly for Mom.
My friend Megan & I figured out that we walk probably an average of 6 miles per day. Maybe I'll run a marathon when I get back to the States, but probably not.
Well, not much else to add except - just when you thought I forgot........
Difficult to read, but the overall message is clearly seen.
OH! Before I forget - a few of you have been asking for my mailing address, so here it is:
Rachel Bannister

That being said, I expect lots of mail. :)
Love to all,
Rachel

Thank EWE for the lovely sheep pics and the close up of dandelions and rocks. What a beautiful country. Looking forward to tracking your semester these next several months. I will send you my Wesley Memorabilia Wish List in a few weeks - before you blow all your money on dance lessons!!
