Wednesday and Thursday news!

Sorry I didn't get to update yesterday, I was really tired once I got a chance to get on the computer and wasn't really up to writing a whole post. Yesterday we visited some really beautiful beaches, Porthcurnow being one of them. It may have been my favorite place so far. It was so gorgeous and the water was so blue! I picked up a bunch of shells while I was there, so I will have some of them to remember Cornwall beaches by. Then we went to St. Ives, which I had heard had some pretty good shopping, but to be honest I was pretty disappointed. It was still a gorgous town though.
Last night we went to Redruth's Got Talent, a talent show put on by the school. It was very entertaining; some people were more talented than others, but they all had interesting and varied talents. The teachers danced to Low by Flo Rida; we were laughing so hard and commenting on how lame our teachers are because they would never attempt something like that. Today we went to school a little bit this morning and then watched the cricket team for a bit. One boy, Harry something or other, plays for Cornwall's team and he was very good! We met him and talked to him for a bit; he told us about his trip to South Africa last summer to play cricket there, where he got scratched by a lion. I must say I was pretty impressed. We also visited the local Cricket Club and saw a real field. It is way more complicated than baseball, and the ball must hurt a lot more because it is much heavier and harder than a baseball.
After cricket, we had some fish and chips by the sea in Portreath. It wasn't as calm there as in Porthcurnow, because it was on the north coast. Then we came to a primary school, where I am typing this now! The kids are super cute and pretty in awe of us. Today was their reward day for the kids who were good this term. They made easter nests, watched Spongebob and went on a scavenger hunt outside. We tried to help out a little, but they were really shy around us. Katie made a new friend though, also named Katie, very cute!
Tonight I think we are going to watch netball (I have no idea what netball is, but Emma Jane plays). Hopefully we can understand a little of it! Tomorrow we are off to Truro for more shopping, yay!
Miss you all!
