When I woke up this morning the first thing I noticed was the sound of pen on paper. The second thing I noticed was that it was 5:30am. Four of us girls woke up and went to go get breakfast. We all thought maybe this time difference thing wasn't so bad after all... we were very wrong. Today we got to explore the beautiful town of Richmond! Some of us decided to go on a walk to the Easby Abbey but on the way we got a bit distracted by a massive hill that was just calling for us to climb it. The climb was difficult but once we got up the view was great. I had to keep reminding myself that there are many great picture opportunities waiting to happen. After taking many "candid" pictures of each other we made the trek back down the hill (which was a lot easier than going up). The walk on the way to the Abbey took a lot longer than the one on the way back because we took pictures of EVERYTHING. We then ate a nice relaxed lunch at a place called The Station before continuing our journey and heading to The Richmond Castle. Around the castle ruins you can take the most breath taking photos ever, we were trying to take pictures of everything in every angle. I had a mini heart attack when some people decided to climb on the edge of walls but they made it out perfectly fine. The group of us decided to relax by a waterfall. The weather was gorgeous! Which means all the british people were out swimming. All the shops were closed by the time we got back but do not fear, the adventure does not end there. We tried all the fish and chips in town! (Castle fisheries was the best). So far England is the best place ever, I'm going to live here someday and I love the people I'm with even more now.
