Two weeks in "Study Abroad" feels like a month when you're traveling all the time! Here's a quick look, in pictures, at some of the day trips we've been doing in between our major stops at York, London, and Birmingham:
Dryburgh Abbey

Scott was a famous Scottish novelist whose works were published during the early 19th Century; his list of works includs novels like Waverley and Ivanhoe, as well as numerous short stories and poems.

Hadrian's Wall
 |
Rachel Petty, Emerson Boyle, and Kirsten Rice admire the pastoral views around the ruins of a military outpost along Hadrian's Wall as other students look on. The wall began construction in the early 2nd Century AD during the rule of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, and was one of two walls built to separate the Roman-occupied Britain from the "Wild" Scottish North. Students enjoyed walking the walls and reading about the ruins on the way to Rydal. (Photo Credit Hannah Gustavson)
