Virginia Claire, I love all the information you've been sharing! When I saw these pictures I had to comment.
I couldn't figure out why something was off, then I realized. I lived in England for 2 years and didn't have one picture when the sun was shining!
The weather and you look marvelous. Take care,

literary association for Salisbury Cathedral Did you know that Salisbury Cathedral inspired Anthony Trollope's Barchester novels? Trollope was a big Jane Austen fan, and it's possible to see his novel The Small House at Allington as a kind of reworking of Sense and Sensibility.
awesome cathedral great photos of the cathedral! I just love the architecture and aura of churches, esp. in the British isles. It's neat to know the HP connection too.
happy too (and a bit jealous) I'm so glad to hear that you arrived safely and made such quick acquaintences. I would so love to be in Bath! I only spent a few brief hours there in 2004. A classmate and I took the train from London and spent all day walking to/around the American Art museum. We didn't get to the Jane Austen Centre until 5 min before closing, so all I saw was the gift shop and status outside. Alas! I did see a lot of the town though and just loved the architecture and atmosphere. I know you'll have a great time there, and can't wait to read all about it (and see pictures!). Take care!

You look perfect in your outfit, VC--and it's great that your first day of class is behind you now. Thanks for the reminder e-mail -- it's been fun to catch up with the start of your trip.

We are so proud of you!! Your daddy and I are so proud of you. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to cross the ocean by yourself and embark on such a unique learning experienc. We love you!! MOM
So glad the United States Government came through for you--although not without making you sweat a little. Or should I say "perspire" since you are no doubt a lady, and ladies don't sweat. Have fun and keep us posted so that we can all be Jane Austen interns vicariously through you!
