Day
1 - London - Stonehenge - Glastonbury
|
1-1
|
|
Just got the car in
London. "Nancy, your driving on the wrong side of the road!
And put the steering wheel back on the left side!"
|
1-2
|
|
On the lookout for neat stuff to
take pictures of.
|

I think I got my Jesus Brake on.

Listening to
audioguide. There were a bunch of places with audioguides.
Dad started doing his Hawaiian hand gesture.
Too bad it didn't make it warmer.
|

|
|
Stonehenge.
Yes, I was camera happy. Wanted the right angle, light.
Didn't want to miss any detail.
|

Stonehenge.
|

|
|
Around we go.
|
1-15
|
|
This ditch was dug the hard way.
|
1-16
|
|
I'm level again.
|
1-17
|
|
Brrrrr. I didn't have any
gloves yet.
|
1-18
|
|
One step at a time.
|

Panaramic?

|
Glastonbury. We're walking
down this path behind the church.
|
1-21
|
|
Glastonbury. Church.
|
1-22
|
|
Glastonbury. Church.
When I took this pic: There were a couple children walking past
that seemed quite amused that someone would take a picture of their
local church. It seems special to me, but so common to them.

Day
2 - Glastonbury

Lady Chapel, and Chalice Well :

Glastonbury
(very cool).

|
Big Pat. Ain't he
organized?
Staying at Dragonfly Bed & Breakfast.
|
2-24
|
|
Everyone look to your right to
see if cars are coming. Even learning to jaywalk in england takes
some practice.
|
2-25
|
|
Pat. Happy, got his hat
on. At the entrance to Glastonbury Abbey.
|
2-26
|
|
Stepping back in time. I
feel a history lesson coming on. Entrance to Glastonbury Abbey. |
2-27
|
|
Lady Chapel
|
2-28
|
|
Common entrance arch to the main
church of the monastery (in ruins).
|
2-29
|
|
I am still in awe of this
entrance. Use of the imagination is required.
|
2-30
|
|
The only building with a roof
left. The kitchen.

A different high gothic
cathedral viewed from the grounds of the monastery.

2-36
|
|
Walking (yes, Americans must
learn to walk) to the Chalice Well Gardens.
|
2-37
|
|
Everthing just looks so
different.
|
2-38
|
|
|
|
|
Camera started acting up as soon
as we entered the Chalice Well Gardens. I thought it was my
batteries. But I think the high ferrous metal content in the air
here screwed something up. Very magnetic place.
|
2-39
|
|
Pat 1 at the Chalice Well.
See the symbols on the cover? Neat.
|
2-109
|
|
Same design on the top.
Had to sit upstream just to get camera to work again.
|
2-110
|
|
testing 1,2,3
|
2-111
|
|
A little meditative place near
the well.
|
|
|
Camera quit again. It
never wanted to save the images from here on out, unless I don't use
the flash. Weird. The next 8 pics are from the Tor looking
down. None of the pics I took with my camera looking up the hill
survived. Weird.

Nancy climbing the Tor.
It's a steep climb. It's suppossed to be like a 700 foot
climb. I think it's higher. The view is great.
|
2-115
|
 |
Down but not up, and the
pictures were stored in the wrong order. Very weird.

Pals. Helping each other
up the hill.
|
2-118
|
 |
I was sitting down leaning on
the Tor. Those last steps and the icey wind were murder!
|
2-119
|
 |
The town looks kewl from up here.
|
|
|
Now for something completely
different...
|
3-120
|
|
A serious morning in Bath.
Way too many people...they are everywhere.
|
3-121
|
|
This is a cathedral next to the
Roman Bath House entrance.
If you look close you can see anti-war demonstrators in front of the
door holding signs. My thoughts ... Americans in general do not
seem outspoken enough.
|
3-122
|
|
better view of Roman Bath
entrance. Notice the line... very very popular and important
historical place...IMO (in my opinion).
|
3-123
|
|
closer to the window
|
3-124
|
|
The crests here fascinated me.
|
3-125
|
|
This crest I saw
everywhere. Definetely royalty. And is that a dragon or a
griffon? I only saw a couple dragons, I would see one later at a
Palace.
|
3-126
|
|
Very old masonry, piping, and
hot hot water in the Roman Bath in (of course) Bath.
|
3-127
|
|
Yes, forgot her name, but a
godess driving (see the whip) the sun across the heavens.
|
3-128
|
|
Hot water spring.
Definetely a focal point for ancient society.
|
3-129
|
|
Stratford Upon Avon. Old
old church. Couldn't find the name.
|
3-130
|
|
In the other direction is big
Pat minding the car.
|
3-131
|
|
more stained glass windows
|
3-132
|
|
Looks like a football huddle.
|
3-133
|
|
No Nancy, I haven't caught on to
the play yet.
|
3-134
|
|
Refer to 3-129. Lots of
old tombstones.
|
3-135
|
|
Arriving in Warwick. We
went into the church up the hill. I was very impressed.
|
| 3-136 |
|
I is happy.

Checking out the

programming.
