Day 65 – Officially half way through my travels!

To celebrate being half way I basically did nothing all day. I had my breakfast, read some of my book and then decided I should really get out of the house, so I decided to go for a little run/walk. I ran down Highland Avenue (where they live) then the next road, when I discovered a park, so obviously I had to go and test out the swings. It was quite hard because the seat is a bendy bit of plastic instead of the rigid seats you get in the UK so I found it quite awkward to pull on the chains to actually swing, I managed it but my 5 minutes of fun was over. I walked through some alleyways and found a shop, which you can actually see from Stuarts house and looks really far away. I decided to pop in, grab and ice cream and slowly walk back, I was probably only gone about an hour and a bit but it was long enough for me.

I also feel like I should give a round up of things/music/books etc, so here it goes! (More for my benefit than anyone else’s, feel free to ignore)
