Tintagel!

Okay so we haven’t had wifi for awhile so I haven’t been able to upload pictures but here are some of the highlights from Tintagel. We got there and went to tour Merlin’s Cave and saw the ruins of Tintagel Castle (supposedly where Arthur was born). Monday we went to the church and then on a cliff walk to Bossiney. Along the way we saw some cliff jumpers and I got some really pretty pictures. Our hostel was on the edge of a cliff so the view from our bedroom was BEAUTIFUL! We left on Tuesday morning but on our way to St. Ives we stopped and saw Dozmary Pool (supposedly the water where Bedivere threw Excalibur). Definitely a nice small place with some really gorgeous views I liked it a lot!

Day 2: Glastonbury Abbey

Today was fun!! We had class in the morning (Advanced Writing in the Disciplines) and then a break for lunch. Emily and I picked up food at the co-op down the street and made our lunches at the hostel. Then we met up with the group and went to Glastonbury Abbey (due to wi-fi issues I’m having trouble posting the pictures on here right now but I’ll try again later). Then we had our Arthurian Legend class (which I think will be very interesting). After class, Emily and I made dinner, spaghetti with some delicious bread. Now time to start winding down. We have to be on the bus by 5am tomorrow morning to go to Stonehenge. It’ll be unpleasant but so worth it!!!!
