Edinburgh was awesome. Despite the wetness that has continued all until the last few days, we thoroughly enjoyed it, including the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Look for videos of it online to get a glimpse of what we were able to experience.
After Edinburgh, we saw Durham's cathedral, went to the place of my ancestors, took in York's Minster and Castle Museum, and went and stayed the night at Henry's, my friend in England. He and his wife Faye were very hospitable and we are very glad to have had the opportunity to join them.
Next we went to Stratford-upon-Avon and we to a couple of Shakespeare plays which were amazing. I never knew a Midsummers Night's Dream was so entertaining. After Stratford, we checked out the Warwick Castle and then went on to Bath, where we saw the Roman Baths and took a daytrip the next day out to Stonehenge and the Blenheim Palace. Yeah, we've been busy.
Anyway, let's put some visuals to these locations! Here are some pictures:
Climbing up up up the stairs at the Durham Cathedral (325 steps in all! And then back down!)
But the view was worth it once we got there
Here's me with Henry, Faye and Rosie. We are very grateful for that experience!
The four of us in front of Stonehenge. It was quite windy there.
Nick and I in front of the "Cascades" at the Blenheim Palace.
Blenheim Palace in the distance. :-O!

Wow, some of these pictures look like postcards, especially the view from the place you climbed 325 steps. I would say very worth the effort there. Great picture of Henry and family. So glad you got to see them. Keep up the posts, we enjoy sharing your trip.
