Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing, after all.

I definitely didn't want to leave today - I loved it out there, so peaceful and beautiful.
Today, after Brittney and I got packed up, we went to Cotehele - a large estate. It was established in 1353 by the Edgcumbes and the house and barn were built in 1485. The chapel housed a clock that was also installed at the same time - it's the oldest clock that's still working and in its original place, it hasn't been moved.
There was a small chapel built in the woods close to the river - and there was a story behind it. Sir Richard Edgcumbe declared that he was against the King (I can't remember what King or what years) and was being chased. He hid himself in the woods and threw his cap with a rock into the river. The men chasing him heard the sound and saw his cap, so they assumed he had drowned and left. When Sir Richard came back to the estate, he built a small chapel in the spot where he had hidden.
We walked all over the estate; through gardens, up hills, up triangular towers (there was a random triangular tower out in the middle of a cow grazing field), and through apple orchards alongside a cat :] Everything was so beautiful! I had some more fun taking pictures of flowers :D
We ate our packed lunch on the quay (pronounced key), looking out over the river and trying to figure out which way it was flowing - it was a tidal river, so at one point it looked like it was flowing in both directions at once.
After lunch, we walked up to the fllour mill on the estate. We couldn't go inside, but it was nice to walk along the stream and see the mill - it was a larger complex than Brittney and I had expected. My legs are going to be sore tomorrow - we walked up a lot of hills these past two days :]
After Cotehele, we went to a few different places to walk and stall before the coach was scheduled to leave, an area along the river, the Royal William shipyard and a Tesco (grocery store) so Brittney and I could get food for the coach ride back.
Then, when we went to get on the coach, it turned out that the people in London had only given us the ticket numbers for the trip down there, and not back. We started to panic slightly, but luckily there was a number the driver could call so it got sorted. And then we were on our way.
Oddly enough, I wasn't tired enough to sleep this trip, so I listened to Pride and Prejudice (hence the title of this post :D ) and watched the cars go by. I should've counted how many Jaguars I saw - there were so many! And they are so pretty :D
When I got back to my room, I got on skype and talked with my mom and dad... and Ricky! Now I'm up to seeing him 2 of 6 skype dates, I'm so happy ;D
Two more days! I can't wait!
And now it's obnoxiously late, and I have class tomorrow.
Till then,
