The Lake District

The Lake District, or The Lakes, is in northern England near Scotland.  I was told that it's a popular vacation destination for British people within the country.  Imagine a town completely made up of hiking stores, restaurants, and bed & breakfasts.  That's pretty much the entire Lake District.  Cozy and sleepy.
Nancy Drew and I set out on a hike and found that the trail went through someones farm.  We didn't see a single farmer the entire time.  I felt gypped because the point of a vacation is to observe others performing regular work tasks so I can comment on how similar we are despite being separated by an ocean.  Thanks for not giving me the opportunity to be insightful England!
"Sean like pretty!" spoken in the voice of the Incredible Hulk.
"If you continuing hiking, it's going to rain," said the sheep.  My response, "sounds like a baaaaaaah-d idea."  I was not welcomed back to this farm.
I took this picture from inside my jacket because it was raining like crazy!  The sheep was right.  We should have hiked faster in order to B-L-EAT the rain.  I'm sorry.  No more bad sheep jokes.
This is the British version of Jenga.  I told them we had a table top version that could be played indoors.  I was laughed at and not welcomed back to this park.
