Wanna Joust?


Hello!

Friday night the girls and I had another movie night! Elizabeth and I have both been sick the past couple days and we didn't feel like going out anywhere. Earlier that day, the three of us went shopping for a little bit, and then just hung out the rest of the night.
Saturday, we got up bright and early! We were headed to Lincoln for the jousting tournament! Our train left @ 8:05 a.m. and we were getting our taxi for 7:30 since we had never been to the train station. The train station was.. interesting. Some British man yelled @ me and Leah. We were ordering some hot chocalte, and he was a bit impatient because his train was coming. Well, he was like, "Oh come on now! Why couldn't you guys have ordered together? Seriously!".. Well it was very early and I wasn't in the mood.. so I coped an attitude and sarcastically back "sorry.." and gave him a look like I really didn't care. After all, it was my fault he didn't get there earlier. Lol. But that was really the only bad thing that happenend.. And it wasn't even bad. Just made me laugh. The train was interesting! I've never been on a train before! Quite fast! It took about an hour to get to Lincoln. We had to walk a huuuuge hill to get to the Castle where the jousting was located. Well, come to find out the tournament didn't even start until 2:00 p.m. and we thought it started @ 9:30 a.m. Haha. So we got there a weee bit early. We walked around the castle a little bit, and went to the sections we didn't get to go to while we were there with school. Then we went a layed in the grass and took a nap. :) It was quite nice. After that the jousting started!! There was the Sir Richard, the Knight from Lincoln [the local "hero"].. Sir Fredric [he was the "drunk" knight.. and my favorite!!]... Sir Philip of Normandy ["The French Man"].. and then of course the Black Knight!... Sir Richard of Lincoln won! Lol. Go figure right? But it was still awesome to watch! I loved it!




After that me and the girls went to a pub for dinner, and then got back on the train and headed back to school! I went to bed.. exhausted from my day.. Lol.

Today, I didn't do much. It was a lazy day!!


More soon! Miss you all!

Wow...Tiffany what a adventure you had this week-end. You are getting to see so much. Memories of a "Life Time" that you will have to share with all the many...many students you will have as a "Awesome Teacher".

Go figure you would pick the drunk for the one you wanted to win. Sorry he did not win, honey.

Lots and lots to write in your journal again from this week-end.

Your are in our Thoughts & Prayers,
We LOVE YOU
