Rest Day...Kind of.

Well, today we finally had a rest day!!! It was much needed. We had class at 9am but then the rest of the day was ours to do as we pleased.

After class I took a nap for two hours then had lunch. A few of us girls then went to Grantham to a market. Some parts were similar to the Shipshewana Flea Market but not near as big. Then we came back and worked out...finally!! haha the college actually has a lot of equipment available for use. 

We had dinner tonight at Gregory's...the pub at the end of the lane. We had burger's and fries and oh my goodness, it was delicious; very fulfilling!! The walk back was pleasant as the weather was wonderful! The sun was starting to set and we could actually see it because the clouds were gone. It was also nice to walk off our food. There was a wedding at the manor tonight so we were able to see a few of the guests arriving as we go back. Unfortunately we did not get to see the bride or groom.

Once we got back we decided to do laundry and watch movies. Which was all well and fine...except that our laundry had to go through the drying cycle three times until it was completely dry. On top of that...we decided to watch "The Haunting." If you haven't seen it, you can tell by it's title that it is supposed to be a scary movie...but it wasn't all that bad. The actual scary part, and the main reason why we choose to watch it, was due to the fact that the mansion where the movie takes place was at Harlaxton! It was really creepy to watch the screen fill up with extremely familiar scenes such as the land surrounding Harlaxton, the lane going up to the manor, and the outside of the manor itself. The inside of the place was filmed at a different location but it was still creepy. And, the fact that my imagination runs wild did not help as we were walking through the halls.

Well, hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight! :) I'm sure I'll be fine because even though we didn't do too much today, I am still very tired. Tomorrow we head to Cambridge...I'm excited! It's hard to believe that I am halfway through my trip already!
