It took some time but I was only just today able to connect to the internet to post here. I have a backlog of things to write but I will try to keep it brief.
August 24th
-Slept in and then went out late afternoon to wander toward the school to see how long of a walk it would be. Got turned around - these streets are really confusing - so I ended up in a section of town called Silverhill. From there it was back to the B&B to start planning lessons for the next week.
August 23rd
-Went across town to the East Hill which is a 700 acre park along the coast and explored a small section before returning to the Bed and Breakfast I am staying at for the next week.
August 22nd
-Went around the area looking at the places that were on the leasing agencies website. A very interesting town with a lot of nice looking neighborhoods. Old but quiet and clean for the most part. Spent most of the day exploring the town.
August 21st
-Tried to stop by the school around 1pm but no one was around. Explored the town - it is about the size of Wilmington only set on many hills. Stopped by a realtor to see if there were any places to rent in the area. Went back to the hotel for a nap but ended up sleeping until the next day.
August 20th
-Did some last minute banking and errands in Wilmington. Then headed to the airport to drop of the rental car my parents had gotten and catch the 2:30pm flight to Charlotte. From there I was on the 8pm flight to London Gatwick. After an quiet and quick seven hours and it was on to the train to Hastings.
