This last Saturday, my program arranged another pretty good feild trip (hey- it is better than class!) and we first went to Glimmingehus (see the picture above where I am checking out the safety precautions - you can never be too sure around moats.)

You may make fun, but on the day there is a peasant revolt I'll have the last laugh.
Well, I guess actually they will but at least I will be able to say "I told you so."
Oh jeez courtney - that "falling" pic really made me LOL. Clever Clever.
