Lake District, finally.

Okay, so I finally got the pictures from the trip to the Lake District, some courtesy of Troy, after my camera's batteries died.  For the background, I went with the International Society to the Lake District, which is about an hour and a half north of Manchester.  I didn't really know anyone on the bus, but I met two guys from M/cr Metropolitan University (MMU), and they were nice, so we hung out during the day.  Troy Rainbow (yes, that's totally his last name!) is from Australia and Gert-Jan is from Amsterdam.  We had a great time, and the weather was beautiful, if a bit chilly while we were on the water.  



There were sheep, and I got my picture made with them because well, they are so cute.  At some point, while I am here, my goal is to squeeze a sheep.  They just look so...fluffy.  


Anyway, I could describe the scenery for you, or I could just post the pictures.  Everything you look at looks like a postcard or one of those Kodak 1000 piece picture puzzles.  This has to be where they take all those.  It is unspeakably beautiful.  These pictures are definitely worth a thousand words, if not more.
