So I've got a couple things to update y'all on.
We spent the weekend in Newquay (pronounced noo-kee) at the beach where we had a lovely apartment with a view of the ocean.
We met some more of David's friends who were all very sweet but were absolutely crazy to go in the water. Actually, Ariel went in too. She tried surfing, which was very brave of her and was able to successfully catch some waves!
We also spent a day in Exeter. It's a university town with lots of great shopping and some historic buildings such as the Exeter Cathedral which was completed in 1400.
Today, there was an important election in England for majority control of Parliament. Correct us if we're wrong, English politics are rather confusing. For the past 13 years the Labour Party was in power and this election will determine its fate. Gordon Brown is running for reelection with the Labour Party (though it seems unlikely that he'll win) against the Conservative David Cameron and Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg. If all goes well, results will be in first thing tomorrow morning.
That's all for now! Stay tuned for our last week!

Em and Ariel: I think that your host Robert's wife is Polish by birth. Since you are right in the thick of things politically (aren't we all?), why don't you ask her reaction to the Polish plane crash/disaster which wiped out much of the upper echelon of the Polish government?
ReplyDeleteAlso, will you be going to Katherine's school? (hosts' daughter)
