Week 3 of our British Adventure!

On the trip back from Scotland to Oxford, we stopped at the Scotland/England border. We thought we would try a new pose for this picture...we totally look in love!


We toured Endinburgh Castle in Scotland, also know as Hogwarts from the Harry Potter books and movies. London Bridge!! This was on our 2nd trip to London. We walked across the bridge. We also saw The Tower of London and we discovered that The Tower is NOT a tower, but a palace...or something.

During a rainy day in Bath, we rode on the top of a double decker bus for a tour of the city. Don't worry, the top was covered! It was so fun, I have always wanted to ride on the top of a double decker bus!! We saw the ancient Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, Jane Austein's home, and Nicholas Cage and Johnny Depp's summer homes!


We saw stonhenge. Did you know the devil put these rocks here??? Just kidding, but that is one of the myths about Stonehenge....along with Merlin, and aliens...What do you think??

Thanks,
I have been checking every day.
Yes, You totally look to be in love.

So you finally got to Bath this week. Which came first, the place or the name of the action?
Those stones came from a long way away and are arranged to mark what?

The devil is about distruction, God is about life/construction. What is Stonehenge about?

I wonder if there is any water at Stonehenge. Could they have been floated there in a rainy season?

I hope you haven't missed anything due to the rain. (Most since 1947, the year New Orleans and Metairie flooded but not due to rain rather wind.)

London Bridge: I am glad you are learning to cross bridges when you come to them. How else will you get to the other side?

Tower: Interestingly enough a "High place" is more about attitude than altitude or a greater elevation. I wonder if the elevation around the palace changed or if was just at a higher level relelative to the rest of the place?
