This afternoon one of the families at the church I've been attending invited
all of the international students and any other students who were interested to their home for lunch. It was so nice to meet and talk with other people, be inside a HOUSE, and eat delicious home-cooked food. I can't believe how much they made! It was fun because they had all sorts of typical British food like Shepherd's Pie (after the fact I realized it was probably authentic-a.k.a. lamb, not beef), chicken, salmon, stew, vegetables, roast meats with potatoes and carrots, and so much more. Then there were the desserts- custard, crumbles, spongecake with jam, biscuits, tea, etc. I really appreciated being invited over and it was wonderful getting to know some of the 
others in the church.

ould be a great way to see more of England in a manner that most tourists aren't usually able to. We took the train out to Sherringham, a quaint coastal town, and then just started walking. It was really pretty! The coast was different from what I'm used to at home. First of all, it was totally flat. There was green country and ocean side by side. Our path began along the tops of the dunes and then went closer to the water along "shingles" or pebbles, which 
composed the majority of the beach. Later we walked in more of the countryside and saw horses, sheep, ducks, and swans. Our last stretch was along boardwalks in sort of a marshy land that I believe was some sort of conservation area. We ended our trek in Cley at the West Cottage Cafe, a little tea house attached to a couple's home, where we warmed up with tea and scones. It was a fun trek and I hope to go to the Lake District with Fell when they head up there in a couple of weekends.
