Dear Mom,
You won’t believe what happened to me! After our trip around Ireland Diana and I decided to make the leap and visit England. After two weeks of driving around in a rental car and sleeping in a tent we were ready for a little luxury. We booked a room at a cozy looking bed and breakfast for five days. The first day we enjoyed the comfort of our room, beds and bath. Since it was pouring staying in was the only option we had. It was pretty convenient because we could use a day of leisure. The next morning when we woke up the sun was shining and it seemed a perfect day for a hike.
After we had packed our bags with the necessary items, food, water, raincoats, band aids, etc,… We were ready to go to the moors. Before we walked out of the B&B the hostess warned us to stay on the path. The heavy rain made the moors treacherous. We nodded our heads and said ‘sure’ and ‘yes, we know’.
Not before long we were walking around in the beautiful moors and enjoying the view. We made sure we stayed on the path and for a long time it went really well. Then Diana tripped over a branch and I thought I would be smart if I walked around that branch. Could I have been more wrong?! While I was avoiding the branch I stepped outside the path and was sucked into a huge puddle of mud! In less than 20 seconds I was sucked in up to my navel. Diana was still walking when she heard me call her name. She turned around and ran towards me. The first thing she did… was save my camera! She took it from me and then pulled me out, unbelievable. I rinsed my pants in a little pond and put them back on. They were dry within the hour. Back at the bed and breakfast the hostess asked us how the walk was and we just smiled and said; ‘wonderful!’.
I will send you another card soon.
Love,
Rosalie
