It's called a lance...hellooo!

I would like to apologize for the delay of updates lately....computers are hard to come by and Cari's new Ipod Touch seems bent on making things very difficult. Hopefully it will be set up with wifi tonight, and posts wil be able to come more regularly. Anywho, since our last update the girls have been busy. They left Bath and went to Avebury, a sleepy little town surrounded by another acient stone circle.  They could actually touch these stones, so it was rather exciting. After lunching with some sheep, they set off for Emma's Grandmother's house in Wolverhampton, who shall for now on be referred to as Nan. The first day at Nan's was spent at Blenhiem Palace just outside of Oxford. There the girls explored the beautiful palace and gardens, complete with roses, statues and waterfalls. Then they were in for quite a surprise....the palace was hostin a JOUSTING TOURNAMENT! They were thouroughly entertained by the emcee, the horses (which were real, by they way), and the silly antics of the "knights". After watching their knight win, it was time to head back. The next day Emma stayed with Nan, while Cari and Lauren left for the city of Birmingham to go to the aquarium, a quest that proved much harder than it should have been. After much wandering (seriously, please make your signs point in the right direction!), they found it, and spend a good hour amazed by sharks, manta rays, and one gigantic turtle. After that they were off the the cinema to watch Harry finally defeat Voldemort, and then home again for tea and card games. This blog is currently being written from Stratford, where the girls are spending the day exploring the world of William Shakespeare. Check back later for an update on what they find!

Cheers!
Tim.
