Haworth, Hadrian's Wall, and Fountain's Abbey

On our way back from Scotland, we stayed at a hostel in a town called Haworth. We got there when it was starting to get dark outside and it was probably one of the creepiest towns ever. The hostel looked like a haunted house. Since the hostel didn't have wifi, about twelve of us went on a journey to go find a place that had some. We started walking and there was literally no one outside. We passed a house who's yard was completely covered in gnomes. As we walked a little further, we passed an old building and in the window was a lady staring at us while holding a doll, which was also looking at us! It was the perfect setting for a scary movie plot: A group of college kids walking around a quiet town that is haunted, full of houses with gnomes everywhere, and old ladies staring through the window while holding creepy-looking dolls. Luckily, we all survived. Finally, thirty minutes later, we found a cafe place that had wifi.

On our way back, we passed a funny road that was called "Butt Lane."I had to take a picture.

This is a picture of our hostel I took from inside the bus as we were leaving for the Bronte Pasonage up the street. You can't tell me that you wouldn't be a little scared to stay in this place haha.

After leaving the hostel, we went to the Bronte sister's parsonage who wrote Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. It is such a depressing and creepy place to live. No wonder they wrote such dark books.

The next day, we went to Hadrian's Wall. Hadrian's Wall was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain, begun in 122 AD. It used to be 75 miles long.

Here are some pictures of it. 

Me, Kate, and Ashley sitting on the wall.

 These pictures just don't capture how beautiful this place really is. During the bus drive, most people slept but I just couldn't do it because the view was so beautiful I didn't want to miss anything.

 There were sheep everywhere. It was awesome!

 This is where the hospital was.

 It started pouring rain after this picture was taken. We were soaked. You just can't stay dry when it is windy and rainy.

After Hadrian's wall, we went to a place called Fountains Abbey. It was a Monastery built in 1132. It functioned for 400 years until Henry VIII shut it down. This is what remains of it.

 These are some of the gardens surrounding it. Fountains Abbey covers about 7 acres of land.

I was a wee Bit Excited to see Scotland

Scotland was awesome! It definitely rained a lot (pretty much the whole time we were there) but I still loved it. When we arrived and checked into our hotel, we all went up to see Edinburgh Castle. When we were walking up, we saw this guy playing the bagpipes. It was pretty awesome walking the streets of Scotland while hearing the bagpipes. 

 This is a picture of Edinburgh Castle.

 In the gift shop, they had a baby harp so I had to take a picture of it. I played a couple cords and it was completely out of tune haha.

 They basically had plaid everywhere you looked. Sterling, Alee, and Walter I found the perfect outfit for you guys haha.

 And this nice purple plaid outfit for Reece, Caitlin, and Maddy. Don't worry Reece, the hat had a huge purple feather in it.

 This was the road on our way back from the castle. Just imagine bagpipes while walking down this street and that was exactly my experience. It was pretty great.

 They must take shifts because this was a different guy.

 This was the cafe that Harry Potter was written in.

 Since it was raining so hard, we stopped at this place and got some ice cream. I got ginger and it was amazing! Since it was kind of a fancy pants place, they didn't give us that much of it as you can tell by the tiny scoop underneath the inedible decorations haha.

 A cool alley way

 I didn't take a ton of pictures because it was raining so hard, but I got some of the cool streets.
