Cornish History

Today was a tad boring, I'm not going to lie. But, it was very interesting and educational I suppose, so I will write about it anyway. We all met in the commons at school this morning, and then took a mini-bus around to our various destinations. We were told as we entered the minibus that it was used for ex-cons and ex-addicts that were trying to do something good for society. What a lovely thought, huh. Then we went to Gwennapp Pit, an outdoor worship area. It was quite beautiful and would have been extremely cool to see when it was being used and full. It is very old and John Wesley (yes, I don't know who he is either) used to preach there. Then we went to an old Quaker meeting house that was built in 1710, and is still used today.
For lunch, and older Cornish lady with ties to Wisconsin made us dinner. She made quiche and pasty and dessert for us. It was delicious and nice to have a casual dinner with the rest of the girls. After lunch we went to an old tin mine. It was interesting, but I got extremely dirty there. Outside of the mine was a touristy spot, with a large chess area. Like Harry Potter! Haha, well thats what we thought. So when you look at my pictures, there will be quite a few of us pretending we were on a Harry Potter chessboard. Tonight we are going to watch Dan play football. Hopefully he is good at it :). More later!
