England Trip - Day 5
Train to Cornwall. The English countryside is greener than anything I’ve ever seen before. There are all these picturesque little towns and rivers and hillsides. It’s like someone took the world’s biggest postcard and laid it flat, then ran a train over it.
We toddled around Truro for a bit. (Lord, but my mother does love to shop.) I had my first Cornish pasty. It seems like a good idea — meat and onions in a pastry — but I wasn’t impressed.
Off to Falmouth then. I like place names that make sense. Falmouth is at the mouth of the river Fal. I started wondering if there’s a river Ply, but I just don’t care enough to look it up. We visited with my aunt for a bit, had some dins, and called it a day.
