Devon

Hello Everyone

Well it has been a while since our last entry since internet access is somewhat of a privalige to us. 8 days without the internet must be a new record for us. We are now staying with relatives in Bristol who have been kind enough to take us in for a while. We have just spent 10 days in a place called Harbertonford where my grandmother lives and have been taking many day trips out to places locally. Down to the beaches at Blackpool and to a place called Widecombe in the moors where we had to drive down really (and I mean really) narrow roads to get there. There were wild ponies, cows in the road, and sheep everywhere. Other places we ventured to are Totness, Paignton, and Torquay for some really good shopping and fast food.

Over the next few days we plan on going to a place called Bath and Stonehenge before we head off to Wales to stay with Megan's family for 10 days. We don't have a lot planned out so far but Cardiff and Swansea are on our list of places to visit and probably some trips up to the mountains in north wales as well. After that we are making our way back to London and within a week there we are looking at going to Paris to start our trip on the mainland of Europe. From Paris we are thinking of going to Belgium and then to Holland and then making our way down through Germany going to Colonge, Berlin, and Dresden before we get to Munich and Regansburg to see our good friends Curt and Anna just in time Anna's Birthday on the 20th of August. From there we are not sure but most likley heading off towards Italy. That part will take a little more planning.

In other news the car is running great. Megan and I just put in a new cigerate lighter so we can charge the ipod as the old one wasn't working. I won't tell you how long it took us......hahaha. Driving over here is much more exciting though. The roads are narrow and you never know what is around the next sharp bend so it keeps things interesting.

Well that is all for now. Thanks for all the emails we really do enjoy reading them. Take care.

Hey guys
Good to hear things are working out. Milton's going on as usual, boring and retardedly hot working outside in the sun, but apparently I have gotten so used to the sun I can work 8 hours outdoors without sunscreen now, and without burning, it's a miracle of some sort hahaha. Anyways, I'll send you a real email tomorrow, tonight I'm tired and reading Harry Potter (that English kid has even more adventures than you do so far! haha) talk to you soon!

Hey guys, sounds like you're having fun discovering all the tight streets of south England. I've got family friends in Torquay and I can remember driving along those streets thinking that we would hit the parked cars on BOTH sides of the street at the same time. it was pretty intense. We're looking forward to seeing you guys in a month!

Have a great time in Wales and we'll see you back at Gee-Gee's.

Bill we are not sure if we will be around at that time as we are planning to be in Germany for the 20th of August via Paris, Brussles, Amsterdamn, Berlin, Colonge, and Dresden. But plans are not concrete yet and we do have a lot of time since we don't have jobs......

I will let you know our plans when they are finalized.
