After having breakfast this morning, we headed to the Jurassic Coast to find fossils in the rocks. There were cliffs here, but there not nearly as big or pretty as the ones yesterday. The cliffs are eroding rapidly, and there are lots of fossils that can be found in them. It was fun to go see another beach, but the fossil finding got old fast. Clinton and Bobby found some good ones, but that was about it.My dad drove us to the beach, and that was an experience in itself. Driving on the left side of the road is a lot harder than it sounds. The roads are also very narrow, and the drivers here are a lot more aggressive and drive much faster. Also, once you get outside of London, there really are no stop sights. They have “round-a-bouts” instead. Of course I didn’t like them as much, but that is because I am not used to them and sometimes it is hard to get into them. From my understanding, the person in the round-a-bout has the right of way so you just have to get in while you can. Once you enter it, there are different exits (Usually 4) that you can exit from.
When we got back, we packed our stuff and headed via train back to London to watch the world cup final. We watched it at a pub not far from our dorm. What made it even better was that over half the people there watching it were a bunch of students from Spain. It was definitely a cultural experience getting to watch it there since they are much more into futbol than American’s. I got the winning goal on film…they go crazy, but unfortunately, it is too large to load onto here.
