Hello!  Today, we went to Dunham Massey.  It is a historic manor complete with a working water mill and deer farm!  There were fallow deer everywhere!  We were walking along the paths and they would just cross as though we were not there!  It was crazy!  We walked around the looked and listened to the gardens.  It was so peaceful!  The water mill was pretty amazing as well!  There was a man there to tell us about it and the whole place reminded me a little bit of Heritage Hill in Green Bay.  It was very neat.

After we left there, we drove to Manchester and Lisa took us to the University of Manchester where she went to school.  We walked around the campus and admired the old buildings and had a chance to see where she went to lectures.  It was cool.

We continued by walking around Manchester and visiting the Library and Town Hall Dunham Massey

 .  It was cool to walk around and think about the people and things that those buildings have seen over the years! 

We are going to have a quiet movie night tomorrow and then we are going to go to North Wales tomorrow!

On a sad note, Cassie and Kim have decided to go home early.  They have been talking about it since we arrived in Dublin and made the decision yesterday.  They have changed their tickets and will be coming back to the States on the 30th of July.  Sarah and I however, will stay here and come home on the 6th of August.  I know I would never forgive myself if I left early!  We have not made our plans of what to do after they leave, but we know that we will go back to Ireland for at least a few days! 

I hope all is well at home!  I love and miss you all!
