We slept in again, then got up around noon for breakfast. It was raining, but we decided to visit Igtham Mote anyway. We put on some wellies because the grounds would be very muddy and wet. Only Elli, Bev, and I went, and we walked around the grounds a little bit before going inside the house. The house had a moat, which was cool! I liked walking around the house and learning random things, but my favorite part, of course, was the library. The house was closing, however, so we had to go back home. We had dinner, then sat around watching the women’s soccer final of USA verses Japan. It was very intense and they went into penalty shoot out to settled the tie, which Japan won. After the game, I went upstairs and got ready for bed.
