So Sublime: In the Land of Savage Granduer

After we left Liverpool on Saturday, we headed to a small town called Ambleside in the Lake District and spent the night in a cute little hostel there. On Sunday we took a bus a little farther and toured Dove Cottage, where William Wordsworth lived and wrote his best poetry.

Then we met with our Blue Badge guide Val, and went on a 4 hour hike through the "sublime" landscape described in Wordsworth's and other romantic poets' poetry (which we've been reading in class).








THIS WAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.






And then we saw Wordsworth's grave.
