Toothaches and Cathedrals

Well I've had my first medical problem abroad! What an accomplishment...NOT! 

Two weeks ago I started to have tooth pain. Naturally, I just pushed it aside and ignored it...until I woke up with a swollen chin, neck and jaw.  I went to the doctor and they told me that I should probably go see and dentist. I made my appointment with my Aunt's dentist in London and when I saw him, he informed me that I would need a root canal. Not the best thing to hear, but at least we can solve the problem.  

ENOUGH WITH THE BORING STUFF THOUGH!

Once I got back to Grantham, I met up with my friends at our usual place and had a great evening. I've found Grantham to be alot of fun, even though the locals will beg to differ.  Then again, we have fun wherever we are because we are trying to enjoy the limited time we have in the UK. 

The next day (February 15th) Julie and I joined the Honors Students and went to Peterborough for the afternoon.  We walked around the town, saw the beautiful Peterborough Cathedral and ate some sweets.  I can't decide which was better the Peterborough Cathedral or the chocolate mousse cake....

 Anyways...here are some pictures I've taken from the past week...ENJOY!
