Now it is just getting ridiculous.

I swear I must have a sign on my forehead that says "ROB ME" in big, red letters. First it was my cell phone, and now my umbrella of all things. Who steals an umbrella? I mean I know it rains a lot here, but honestly. This new act of theft once again came out of a pretty awesome day. We started out by getting on a big coach bus, and then waiting half an hour for another big coach bus to come pick us up because the first one's door was broken (which somehow the bus driver missed when they got in the bus to drive over and pick us up).

After that little mishap things went pretty smoothly. Our first stop was to an old ruined castle called Kenilworth. May I just say that old, ruined castles are REALLY cool? I should really have a castle to go with my sword... Seriously though, this place was absolutely beautiful. You could still see all of it's grandeur even through it's decay. I love places like that where you can feel the history around you. It was by far the coolest place I have seen yet. Plus they had awesome chocolate cake (and I don't even like chocolate cake).

After that we moved on to Baddesley Clinton, an old British manor house. It was pretty and all, but it got way cooler when we saw all the hidden rooms and passageways where priests used to hide from "priest hunters" after Henry the 8th reformed the church. Betta watch yo' back daddy. Not that my dad is actually a priest. But you know, still.

So it was at this Baddesley Clinton that ANOTHER jackass took my nice, new umbrella. Next time I will have to get a more distinctive one. Like one that says, "This is Heather Blood's umbrella. Please do not steal it. Or else." in neon lettering. In any case, people really need to stop taking my stuff.

 Apparently people used to be douches and bait bears. By which I mean have a bunch of dogs attack a bear that is chained up to a tree. And then they made statues about it.
