We went to a museum and learned about the Battle of Trafalgar. The British won a naval battle off Cape Trafalgar in Spain on 21 October 1805.

We traveled to Portsmouth by bus for about one and half hour. And we had some free time. We spent a good time buying souvenirs and eating ice cream.

After coming back to Eton, we ate dinner. It was fish and chips. It tasted much better than I had expected.

Today, we had scrambled eggs for breakfast. We got on a bus to Portsmouth for two hours. I slept for an hour on the bus. First, we went to the museum to watch Nelson’s story of his life. There were 3D objects and a lot of beautiful graphics so that I was impressed by it.

After we went there, we went into the Victory hip. It was so narrow in the ship that we had to crouch in the ship. I bought a coffee cup to gifts for my family. I would not like to be in the navy because I couldn’t stay long in a ship. In dinner, I could eat fish and chips finally. It was very delicious. I wanted to eat it again. Tomorrow is the last day of summer school. So I prepared for the next day and went to bed early. It was a good day today.

I ate bacon, juice and bread for breakfast. I didn’t like the bacon because it was very salty. Next we had the lecture about sports. Mr. Toby told us about the history of sports in Eton. It was interesting for me.

After the lecture, we did Eton tree trail. There were many kinds of trees and I’m very happy to see them. Later on, we sketched in the foundation area. I enjoyed it because the sketch that my friend showed me was funny.

At lunch, I ate sausage, mash potato and a piece of chocolate cake. It tasted good. After lunch, we made Eton Mess with groups. My group made the mess like Japanese food as Takoyaki. We used much whipped cream, meringue and many strawberries. Our Mess was very sweet! My favorite thing today was Eton Mess because it was exciting for me to see others’ Mess.

We did some activities after that. I had much food today, so it was just right for me. We did “stuck in the mud,” “Bull dog” and ball games. My favorite sports today was “Bull dog” because I could win the game!!

At dinner, I ate piri-chicken, wadges, sweet corn and strawberries. All of them were yummy!

This is all what I did today.

Today’s breakfast was hash brown, eggs and orange juice. After breakfast, we took a but to Stonehenge. I knew that Stonehenge was one of the World heritage sites, but I was surprised that it was bigger than I thought.  There were also many people around Stonehenge, which were a little different from Japan. I ate sandwiches, yogurt and apples for lunch.

After lunch we went to Salisbury to visit Salisbury Cathedral and shopped nearby. Then, going back to Windsor and I had a burger and fries for dinner. I ordered the smallest fries, but the most surprising thing I had today was that the size was more than I had expected.

I played basketball this morning. It’s been a long time and I felt it was difficult to handle the ball. Next, I had lunch and went to Scion House. There was a room with a lot of books there. It was amazing. There were many animals and plants in the backyard that I had never seen before. It was a lot of fun. After that, I played frisbee and chess in my free time at the dormitory. It was my first time playing chess but It felt it was very interesting. I would continue to practice a little more and become stronger.

August 2nd　O・H

We experienced a traditional British sport today. I have been interested in cricket because I though it would be fun. At first it seemed to be difficult, but I could hit the ball!! Before I played it, I though it was difficult. Because we hare to run with the bat and hit the ball at the right time. I want to play cricket again in Japan and will play it better than I did this time. I was so tired playing it, but it was very fun.

Today I wake up at 6. I went to Windsor Castle. It looked so beautiful. There were some jewelries, shields, armors and dresses there. I was a little bit tired because I walked a lot around Winsor Castle. Windsor Castle has been home for thirteen nine British monarchs. After looking around the castle, we went around shopping for my family members and friends. After that, we ate lunch there. I ate a chicken hamburger. It was very delicious. After coming back to my dormitory, we change clothes to my school uniform and took a picture with all the students of Okayama High School. We jumped and had our picture taken, too. I had a very good time. The happiest thing today was that I had much time to about dogs with Hayley during my short trip!
