Day 11: finally... a break

I tried to sleep in today, but only made it to 8:30:) we had all our classes canceled today so everyone could choose to travel if they wanted. I woke up and ate some breakfast, wrote some postcards, and caught up on my american season finales of my shows on youtube:) then i took a shower, ate some lunch and ordered my B&B room and my flight for vacation... in case you havent heard, i move to italy in 6 days and while we are there we have a four day vacation (12-15th)... well, kyle will be studying in Oxford during that time and we thought it would be fun to see each other in Europe, so i am flying BACK here for the break to see him. I found a very cheap B&B room for me to stay in and a very cheap plane ticket. it worked out perfectly!

later in the afternoon, after getting all my laundry done, kate, Leriam and I walked into town to shop and visit our favorite cafe for tea in a little hidden corner market. we shopped around town and i got a cheap new dress, it was fun and relaxing.

The best part of the day was my amazing American discovery... SKIPPY!!! oh goodness of goodnesses... Peanut butter, the real thing! for anyone who has been over here, you know that englands version of peanut butter is runny, chunky and gross, and you can RARELY find the real thing, but we did:) We saw a sign at a cheese and wine place that said "free samples" so we went in. in the far corner of the room on a shelf in the back was a bunch of betty crocker, peanut butter, jams and other american specialties. we would have never found it if it were not for our need for free stuff:)
