It has been a crazy couple of days. I can no longer brag about the amazing weather I have had on my travels. Once I got to England, that all changed. Before I arrived in England, I probably had about 6 days of rain in 3 months. No, most days there has been rain and the forecast is for more.
Yesterday, I went for a walk through Berkeley but had to turn back when it started to sprinkle. I think it was a good decision because within 5 minutes, the sky completely opened up and it poured! So yesterday was a quiet day reading a book. In the evening, Rachel and I went for dinner with Tim and Sue, a couple we met on our Egypt tour. It was absolutely lovely and I have loved getting together with people I have met earlier on in my travels.
So, today I leave Rachel (thanks girl for the bed and tour of the area) and head to Stratford-upon-Avon. I have booked a ticket forthe evening performance of "Julius Caesar" by the Royal Shakespeare Company, so I am looking forward to that. And from there, I makemy way to Holyhead, the port from where I leave for Ireland. That should be fun!
I only have 4 weeks left but so much to do. I have mixed feelings about it. I am excited at all the things I plan on seeing and doing but it is daunting to look at the ground I have to cover. I am getting exhausted of travelling alone: there is so much that rests on my shoulders. And there is no rest from the planning, organizing and implementation. That has been taking up a lot of my energy soI am getting tothe point where I am looking forward to going home and having a break. Backpacking alone is not a restfull holiday: it is hard work and requires a lotof thought and preparation. But it sure is fun!
So, who knows when I will get to write again. Until then, enjoy yourselves.
Love, Lisa

Well at least it's not -
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Sorry I missed your call!!
Miss you & love you.
Mom
Hi Lisa, finally got a chance to catch up to you. Don't feel bad, the weather sucks here too, snow today. Looks like you have been seeing some amazing places, I love looking at your pictures. All is well here, kids are doing fine. Delaine says: yo Lis! That's from her, for some reason she can't think of anything more exciting to say after 3 months! She's doing well, still in love with the Jonas brothers, and is somewhat annoyed that the concert tickets are sold out and Mom didn't get her any tickets! Poor girl! From Dyson: How you doin' on your trip? Bling! I don't really get all these words buy hey, I'm old! Garry and I are fine too and Tanna is great, she's so cute! Well, got to get these guys thinking about bed, they had 4 days off school but back to the grind tomorrow! Love ya and take care, Haley
