Did you sing the theme song? You're not allowed to read on until you do. It's OK. I can wait.

Thank you. Moving on.

One week ago, I left for a mysterious destination. Six days ago I arrived to the smiling face and welcoming arms of my dearest Friend (yep, he/she will remain a mystery). Needless to say, I'm having a BLAST! You probably could've guessed as much, since I've barely had time to check my e-mail let alone catch up on the blogs. Please forgive me for missing out on all of your entries...I'll do my best to catch up when I get home. Here, I've been too busy sight-seeing and eating chocolate and have no plans of slowing down. They have Cadbury Cream Eggs all year round. Freakin' brilliant.

I've seen so many things here, you wouldn't believe it. Just look at all the beautiful scenes! (Well, perhaps now you will believe it, since you've seen the photos yourself.)

This is the part where I tell you about the grass. The grass here is astounding-- it has these little daisies everywhere! I mean everywhere!!!! Wherever there is grass, there are daisies...! (I know, I'm quite easily amused.) I've also done things while on holiday, wandered through many a museum and the like. Today I went in one where my inner child got to roam free...but that's not so different from every other day, I suppose. I even gave a pat to an old friend on this journey. This afternoon was wonderful, but sadly sun hasn't shown it's face all that much. But when it does, I get to cool down with an ice lolly and a special treat.

For the sake of time, I'll discuss more in depth only a couple of my favourite moments in the journey so far:

One of our first stops was what some might call my rightful home. I would feel slightly out of place living there, but I'm sure I could get used to it. See for yourself... As Friend and I walked up the long staircase leading to the entrance, music started to fill the air. Let me tell you, street musicians playing this particular instrument don't show up in many places (if anywhere) in America! An experience I'll not soon forget. Once inside, I was completely astounded...but I'm not giving anything else away.

Another point of great interest was...a very, very, very, very high point. I think how it got its name is somewhat debateable-- the chair of a special king or arrow-shooter guy, or something of that sort. Anyway, the important thing is, the swans were friendly! They waddled out of the water and came right up to me! How cool is that? OK, so that isn't the most important part, but it was lovely of them, don't you think? Friend and I left the swans far below, however, as we began the climb to the top...nope, that's not the top. Not that either. This is the top. It took us probably about a half an hour to get there, making the occaisional stop to rest. Our hard work was more than worth it, however, as you can imagine.

I wanted to roll down to the bottom, but Friend seemed to think that wouldn't end too well. What a bummer. Next time, perhaps.

I should probably close this entry now, since it's a very special time of day* here. No offense, but I much prefer tea and biscuits to typing. Hopefully someone out there recognises the hints and clues I've provided here, but if not, stay tuned for another episode of (sing along now!) **Where in the World is Jedi Princess?** Honestly, you'll probably get another episode in a week or so, wether you figure it out or not...especially since I'm not planning on staying in one place for very long.

Forcefully,
JP

P.S. I had to phone my mum to tell her about the killer deal I got on my new shoes...


*This was the case as I was first writing this entry, not now as I'm posting it. I certainly don't have tea and biscuits at 11:00pm...or do I?
