Topic: Harrogate
Yesterday evening I went for a walk. On the way home, this particular side street evoked a mood I wanted to capture. I love late afternoon sunlight. I took these pictures with my new cell phone. They don't quite do the scene justice, but they aren't bad considering it's a cell phone.





Also yesterday I saw this "Holly Cottage." Of course I had to take a picture! I looked around online to see if I could figure out what this place was, and found out that the phrase, "Holly Cottage" is used a lot to describe bed and breakfasts. I still need to do some digging to find out about this particular one.

Mostly the last few days have been spent running more errands and taking care of Ryan. Yesterday I picked up my driver's license. Look out Britain! I heard a bit of trivia from the fellow who gave me my license. We heard a siren in the background and I commented that it was interesting how the sirens sound the same here as they do in the States. I figured in Britain they would have the European sounding ones that I heard in Germany. The man told me that someone told him that the police can change their sirens and use different ones depending on where they are, because different sounds get a better reaction in different places. I thought that was interesting.

Tomorrow Larry leaves for a month for FLTCE (foreign language training center Europe) in Garmisch, Germany. Ryan and I will be on our own. Should be interesting. I will definitely keep you posted!
