So when you get 40 girls in the English country, you of course get Jane Austen brought up and an obsession with Pride and Prejudice :) Some of us visited one of the houses Jane Austen lived in and wrote some of her novels...Bath was a frequent place in her novels.
We went to Dartmoor...a moor is an outcrop of rocks in a treeless landscape. A lot of people hiked to the top - I chose to enjoy the view from about half way up because I didn't want to kill myself trying to hike in rainboots :)
OK, here is where the obsession with Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice comes in :) We woke up the second day and went to Stourhead Gardens - oh my gosh, it was breathtaking. I have grown to love the English country and nature so so much. It is also where they filmed a part of Pride and Prejudice...at the Temple of Apollo. So all of us girls enjoyed walking around the Temple and imagining the scene they filmed there - it was a good time lol.
The Movie!
Real Time!
Our final stop was at Salisbury Cathedral, which was beautiful! I had just visited the national Gallery this past week where they have some amazing paintings and one of my favorites was one of Salisbury Cathedral that John Constable painted.
In the cathedral was one of the oldest working clocks in existence!! Pretty cool!

And here are some random pics of my roomies that I like!! Us six girls make up the smallest room in the center, which is fun because we have really gotten to know each other and such, and we all share the wonderful address of the ATTIC in the BYU Center :)
