I can now say with complete confidence I have found the most beautiful place in all of England! Our group boarded the train out of Manchester and headed North to this glorious piece of creation--- definitely a blessing to all who visit. I have absolutely fallen in love with Grasmere, the town we have stayed in for these last couple of days. Grasmere (one of the small towns nestled in the area) is surrounded by rugged green hills, tons of public footpaths, shimmering lakes fed by streams that are lined with moss and trees. The valleys are speckled with little gray stone cottages among the vibrant green pastures. It truly looks as if this little area came directly out of a Grimm's fairy tale.
The first afternoon we arrived, my friend Zach and I headed up the most epic hill we could find! We were giddy as children running through leaves, hopping rocks across steams, climbing as high as possible. Today I hiked with three other friends along the side of a beautiful waterfall that fell down into the main Grasmere valley. The trails are everywhere, and each one leads to an amazing view. This has definitely been the best point out of the whole semester.
We're heading into the last two weeks of the semester (crazy!)... I wish I could spend the rest of the time exploring all the little towns of the Lake District. But I will be back again, I know I will.
