I went on a walk with Emily, Ashley, and Peter this morning to run some errands and get some exercise. We were walking down a narrow street, about ready to turn back for home, when I saw a book shop and asked if we could stop... It was wonderful. There were so many old books in there, books from the 17, 18, 1900s, of all shapes and sizes. I got to touch a first edition Winne the Pooh, one of those books that made history! I could have stayed in there all day and all night, just looking and touching books. I walked out with a page of an old Bible (the binding had fallen apart and they were selling individual pages), a 1526 edition in Latin, printed in Paris with hand-written marginal notes and underlined verses. Very cool. I definitely plan on going back there sometime soon!

Dear Em, it's great to hear from you!! I will check back in often to enjoy your blog. I wish I was there with you... I've always wanted to go to the U.K. :) Have fun and trust God... I love you!!

I'm so glad you're blogging. I can't wait to hear more from you. When I heard you were going to be in Cambridge, I really did look to see how much plane tickets were... I want to go over there soooooo badly. Haha....
I hope you're loving it!
Love ya!!
It's Heidi by the way.... and I never use my blog, although I may start sometime. .... maybe....
I liked your blog and the bookstore sounds very cool about Winnie the Pooh and the Bible page!
