Experiential Blog 2

After having been in Harlaxton and Grantham for a few days I have been surprised on multiple occasions by the landscape, history, and qualities of the town.  Harlaxton surprised me with its beauty which I found in the gardens and different rooms throughout the mansion.  I was also surprised by the amount of history on the property.  Grantham is smaller than I had expected, however I have used the railway to my advantage and I have visited local charming pubs.  Dealing with novelty here is very different than how I would deal with novelty at home.  I feel as though I am more polite here because I do not truly know the customary reactions to new and or unusual circumstances, food, or policies that I have come to notice while abroad.  I also am more interested in truly focusing on and appreciating the changes in scenery that I have experienced here.
