July 20, 2002: Windsor and Eton

Updated: Mar 16

Got up at 6:30 and I got dressed. I washed my hair and put on my makeup. Diana and I went down to breakfast and ate in the dining hall. After breakfast I came back to my room and wrote in my journal. We had flag then a meeting in the conference room about our day trip. At 9:30 we got our sack lunches and set off for the Tube. We took the Tube to Waterloo then took a train to Windsor and Eton.


When we got to Windsor a couple of us went inside the castle.



We looked at the beautiful gardens then ate lunch outside the Royal Quarters. After lunch we saw Queen Mary's Dolls' House. It was amazing and I got a book about it. We toured the rest of the royal quarters then went shopping. I bought a golf-ball for Dad and an ice cream cone (ice cream in GB is soooo much better than in the States!). We went in a couple more stores then Jax and I sat on the bench till it was time to meet the group.

We walked as a group back to the train, and headed back to London. We got off the train at Waterloo and got on a Tube for Belsize Park (I read Harry Potter 3 on the train and Tube because everyone was asleep). We got off at Belsize Park, walked/ran back to Pax Lodge and got ready for dinner. We ate dinner and talked before going back to our rooms.

I took the free time to write in my journal and organize my souvenirs that I bought for other people. When Diana got back, she was upset. Her sister had written her an email and she got a severe case of home-sickness. She's only 14. Diana went to dinner but was back before long because she was home sick for the food too.

We organized what we were going to do for the next couple of days without Kathy. We had a secret meeting. After the meeting we had room check. Jenna won the messiest room. After that I wrote in my journal and went to sleep around 11pm.

Mystery Trip

I've always wanted to just disappear on a trip and have a solo adventure. So I planned one. Next April-May I'm going to disappear on a plane out of DC and I'll let everyone guess where I'm off to next
