The Roaming Robots

Last year was the roller derby world cup in Manchester! I love roller derby world cup! I love watching all the teams from all over the world and seeing how they have improved and oh it is so much fun!! Last year there were 38 teams! It was awesome. We got into Manchester at lunchtime and had a crazy big lunch at Mod's Vegan Cafe at the Thirsty Scholar which was delicious! Vegan English breakfast, a burger with fries and onion rings It was rainy so we didn't wander around much, but I made Raymond go out in the afternoon to check out The John Rylands Library which was super cool. And so many super old books! It is really the only sightseeing we did while in Manchester as we had so much derby to watch! Dinner at V Rev - soup, mac and cheese, and fired seitan plate - delicious! Waiting to get into roller derby - the line was sooooooo long! I should have printed off our tickets, but I forgot. It took over an hour to ...

I love going to the coast in winter, so we usually go up for my birthday. The first year we went to Travemunde and I loved it! So last year I decided to go back. You can stay at this hotel on the water and spy out even if it is super cold outside. Really we wander around and also bring games with us so we can sit in the room and play and I still get to see the water! Vegan ravioli from Meine Lieblingsplatz - so tasty! Wandering on the beach and looking at rocks Overcast and cold - perfect! The rest of the time was sunny and cold! So lots of people outside enjoying the sun
