Jake's U K report

Here is Jake's report from the UK - he's having good times -

Hey there! Sorry I haven't been very good about keeping you guys posted. I've been busy. :/Anyway, here's what I've been up to:First day, we went to Legoland. I know. Then we did typical tourist-y things in London. The eye, big Ben, all that.The next day, we went to A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Globe.Sunday, we went to evensong at Westminster Abbey.Monday, we went to the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and Spamalot, which was hilarious. On the way, we ran into the world premiere of Mamma Mia. We saw Meryl Streep, Collin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and Tom Hanks. (!)We then went to Glastonbury, which is where all the awsome new age freaks like to hang out.On our way, we saw Stonehenge, which I did a presentation on, Winchester Castle, Cadbury, which may or may not be Camelot, and Roman Baths in, well, Bath!At Glastonbury, we saw the Glastonbury Abbey, the Tor, Chalice Well, and Warwick Castle. We then went to Cornwall, where we saw Tintagel (the place where Arthur is said to have been conceived), stone circles, Mount Saint Michael's Mount (it POURED rain), Penzance and the Scilly Isles (and yes, we were as silly as possible there!). We also biked from coast to coast and saw the Alchemist at the Minack theater, which is carved into a cliff by the sea - wowzers!We arrived in Cardiff, Wales yesterday. So far, all we've done is go to Cardiff castle and meet up with the BYU wales group, where both of the group leaders spoke to all the students for a while.So yeah. It's been so much fun, and I think about you guys all the time.Much love!-JakeP.S.- Mom, can you email me the tofu mac recipe? I wanna make it for the kids here. XDLove ya!

WOW. That's it? That's all you've done? Sheesh, get off the couch, man. :-)

Sounds like a great time.

Will you be going to Canterbury Cathedral? For some reason, that's one of my favorite places over there.

Cheers.
