Well we are on the home straight, only 2 more sleeps. Today we went to Universal Studio and if that wasn't exciting enough without the rides and parades, six Japanese students, who were hosted by Leeming in September, came along to share the day with us. We arived at Universal Studio at 10 am and spent our day catching up with the students and enjoying the many rides and attractions. Some of the students conquered their fears of high speed roller-coasters, whilst others enjoyed the movie performances such as Backdraft, where they re-enacted explosions and fires that were part of the movie. Throughout the day there were two parades. The first was a Mardi Gras of singing and dancing and colourful costumes. The second parade was in the evening and it consisted of huge lit up floats of a variety of cartoons and fairy tales. The day ended on a sad note when our students had to say good-bye to their Japanese friends. Tears were shed, a sign of close friendships that will last a long time. At 10 pm, we eventually arrived back at the inn exhausted.
True to form, Mrs Mayes (our ever-ready bunny) made the most of every minute of our day.
Success for Mrs Dinning who eventually though shear persistence got Shannon Stow to write on the blog.
