stop was Manchester. We started at Hatters Hostel which was nice but we had to switch rooms the two nights we were there because of a reservation mix up. Our one full day in Manchester was poring rain so we stopped at a Primark for rain boots, scarf, and umbrella. We then went to the people's history museum which was really fun because of how hands on it was. Because of the rainy weather at night we stayed in and played monopoly. I won once and Eugene beat me once. It was nice to just be able and sit down and play a game with out distractions or worrying about other things we maybe needed to do.
After Manchester we headed to Leeds which was a much much much shorter bus ride compared to the 6 hour one from London. We thought Leeds was a beautiful city compared to Manchester with all the different kinds of markets they had there . It was also nice that the sun decided to peak out for a bit too. A perk about England is that a lot of museums and Art galleries are free. We went to an art gallery in Leeds and the artist they were showcasing was Fiona Rae. I like her art work because the colors, pop culture, and anime blend together well. As for tomorrow Sara is coming into town and we are heading to the Olympic torch relay festival and seeing one of my favorite bands Friendly Fires. I'll be sure to post a whole blog on that event. Love Colleen and Eugene
