I feel good. Really good. This weekend was all about hiking in the Lake District, which is the most beautiful part of England that I've seen so far. 18k yesterday (if I include the bit where I got lost, as expected) of mountains and lakes and waterfalls. Toss in an ancient stone circle and some very odd looking cows and you've got yourself a great day. After William (the new name of Liz's GPS) took me through the scenic route I arrived back in Birmingham early enough to catch a free open-square concert in the downtown with some decent bands.
This week is the end of my time in the UK, so I'm in full logistics-planning mode as I get ready to continue my journey. Pictures coming soon, I swear.
My favourite song right now: Happiness by The Fray
"Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, but you'll never find it all,
Let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day wake up, and she'll be home"
Challenges
A good friend suggested I ask each of you to give me a challenge... something that will push me to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. I laughed when he said it, because my first thought was "oh God, you don't know my friends.... I don't want to sell my body in the Red Light District!" I've decided it's an excellent idea, and I hope that each of you will take a few minutes to think of something that you wish for me to do. If it's not PG, don't post it... send it to me in an email instead :) All challenges welcome.
