Hello from England!!!

I was so happy to get posts from Maddy L and Melanie!  Thank you!  Sorry I haven't written in a long time but when I was on the ship it was very, very, very expensive to use the internet.  Plus, the connections were very slow so I just decided that I'd have to write once I got settled in England.

Leaving New York

Our trip on the Queen Mary was really fun.  We went to the planetarium a lot and learned a lot about the stars and planets.  Unfortunately, three of us (not me!) were quite sea sick and so we ended up spending a fair bit of our time in our room.

Here is a photo of the New York skyline that I took from the ship.  Once we left New York, we didn't see land again for 7 days!  The Atlantic Ocean is huge and it can get rough.  Some waves got as high as 7m tall.  Yikes--that's why some of us were seasick.  Ugh.

This next photo is of my family and me at the Pier in New York, just getting ready to go aboard the Queen Mary 2.  You can see the ship in the background.  The orange things are the lifeboats.  Our room was one of the windows in the lower white bit, under the second lifeboat.  

Going Aboard.

Now I am in Winchester in England.  It is a pretty city, about the size of Guelph.  There is an ancient cathedral here that I will visit today.  More information and photos in my next post.  For the next week I will be able to get on the internet regularly, so I'll try to write more than once, and I will check for your posts.  

Can you say hi to Mrs Roy for me?  I didn't get a chance to talk to her before I left, so tell her I'm wondering how she is doing.  What are your new classes like?
