Hello England

Hello England!
For better and for worse I have left Ireland for the remainder of this trip. I am currently sitting in Pattington station in London, England! YES!!!
This morning we flew out of Dublin International Airport and by this evening I will be staying at a YMCA in Bath, England!
To tell you a bit about recent days…yesterday was our last day in Dublin, and I had a bit of a bad cold so yesterday was officially dubbed “The Day of Nothing!” For the first time since arriving in Europe I slept in and read a book. We were told that England would be pretty exhausting, and I wanted to be healthy and rested for the last half of our trip. I did end up making the trek across Dublin during the last part of the day and visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It was beautiful, and a wonderful ending to my time in Ireland.
The day before yesterday was officially the “Tourist” day where I hopped from historical landmark to museum and back again. The best part of the day was the Dublin National Museum! It had incredible artifacts from all over the world. I even saw a mummified cat, bones from ancient Irish graves and a Denaris (which was a coin that was around when Jesus was…Really cool, I know).
This morning was ridiculous! To start off…I had to make an emergency run to the grocery store about a half hour before my group was supposed to leave for the airport (Hey sometimes there are no options). On my way out, I slipped on the stairs (someone should really recommend that Ireland adopt a few “wet floor” signs). I am fine, minus a purple stripe across my backside. I made it to the store, spend my last three euros and got back to the hostel in time to leave with my group. `
