England Day 4- Lord’s Stone and 15 seconds of fame

We left this morning to go to Lord’s Stone. It is a special place where you can see the entire Tees Valley. It was a breath taking view. We drove up as far as we could and then hiked up a stone path to the top. We came down a different way, traversing bike trails, running as fast as we could without falling. A few of us found a small pond with a bench to sit on and watch the mallards and look out over the valley. Easily one of the most serene places I have ever been. It was hard to leave and meet up with the rest of the group. We ate at the cafe on the mountain and then headed back into town. We split into two groups. One group did interviews and fun with the hosts of their new Christian radio station. It was hilarious!! They definitely received their fifteen seconds of fame. One of the girls even made up a language that she called Zuhili. The other group went back to Ken and Fiona Toop’s home (where I am staying) and helping bag cookies to hand out to people in the lower income housing where we will be having a BBQ on Saturday night. We met back together later and spent the evening at Fiona’s because our original plans had been canceled that day. We played a fun game together and called it a night after painting Ryan Arnold’s toe nails silver and orange while he slept. He was so tired he did not even wake up and even when he did he was too tired to care.
