Our flight to England was great! George Romo took us to the airport and luckily it was just Lee and I in our row so we had extra room. Lucky us! Once we landed in England we picked up our rental car (Vauxhall Astra) and drove to Runnymede.
There we saw the Magna Carta Monument, which was basically a bunch of pillars surrounding a stone saying that the Magna Carta was written there. I thought it was incredible to think about how the Magna Carta influenced so many other things in history – the constitution of the United State, which led to forming a great nation where the restoration could take place. Incredible!

Then we drove to High Wycombe and met the Holts who are both so sweet and thoughtful. They let us try Pear Soda?…. Which tasted great! They are letting us stay with them for a few nights.
Tonight we went to a talent show of the High Wycombe ward. Lee was able to talk to a bunch of members who remembered him and it was fun to watch all their different talents. We ate dinner (jacket potatoes, which are just oven-cooked taters) with the ward at the talent show, which ended up lasting till nearly 10pm so we are both exhausted but happy. 🙂 (Post by Angela)
