Cornwall Day Two
On Wednesday we went to Tintagel. This is supposedly where King Arthur was born. There was a castle and an ocean and lots of green hills.
Cornwall Day One
We arrived in Cornwall on Monday night and Tuesday Tessa drove us around to see pretty places!
These are some of the geese outside the hotel where Tessa works. They saw her car in the parking lot and thought she might feed them.
Tessa did not feed the geese, but she did feed us! She made a yummy dinner on Tuesday night that was all vegan Indian food.

Cornwall
John and I got up early to catch a train on Saturday morning and it was snowing in Norwich!
We rode a train from Norwich to Cambridge, from Cambridge to London King's Cross, the tube from King's Cross to Paddington, and a last train from Paddington to Exeter, St. David. In Exeter, the Cornwallian picked us up and drove is to the home he and Tessa have in Cornwall. We stopped to have a Cornish pasty on the way.
When Tessa got home from work we went shopping for our Thanksgiving feast. Chicken, bread, a butternut squash, and a swede. I cooked the chicken and it was very burned. Tessa made the swede and it was delicious!
On Sunday, John and I explored Cornwall while Tessa and her hubby were at work.
Tessa drove us back to Norwich and she is visiting us for a couple days! I lured her here with promises of a tapas restaurant that serves jalapeno poppers. Here is a picture of me and Tessa and her two dogs Pegasus and Toucan. (Toucan is the one that almost isn't in the picture.)
Today I had a quick health check so that I can use John's health center. The nurse (who was new) thought I had claimed to be 11 stone when I had actually written down that I weighed 115 lbs. She was shocked that I had so grossly overestimated my weight when I had actually just done another dumb American thing and used the wrong units.
But then Tessa and I went into the city and had the promised jalapeno poppers. Hooray!
