This weekend I took a few days off and went to the Isle of Wight. Since I still have no passport I can't travel but have been needing to get away. The Isle of Wight is part of the UK so no passport was needed! The island was pretty and it was relaxing to lay on the beach if only for one day. The house we stayed in was on a cliff overlooking the sea which was also very nice. It's good to get out of London but it also makes it really obvious that not everywhere in England is like London. The surroundings, culture and people are very different outside of the city.
The downfall of any beach vacation in the UK is, of course, the weather. We had one day of sun so we took full advantage. The other days we were there it was the usual clouds and rain. I can assure you, everything you've heard about British weather is true. I'm not sure if I can bear another fall and winter of gloom. It's definitely taught me to enjoy the sunny days!

I was wondering about your passport...what is the status?? They will have your Mother to tangle with if they mess up your trip home at the end of the month ;-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought you were to have it by Aug. 25th.
Nice pics! Glad that you had a good day of sunshine.
