Back in England Again
We arrived in England to meet my parents and find our way to Stratford Upon Avon. The four of us spent the last two days doing a little sightseeing on land before we head off to board our narrow boat. We drove throughout the strangely-named, but incredibly picturesque villages of the Cotswolds. The beautiful old stone buildings and churches made for perfect breaks from the car. The next day we ventured out further to Wales and visited each of the “Three Castles” built in the 1200s – Skenrith, White, and Grosmont – and then finished with a stop at Tintern Abbey (see below). While they are all in ruins, there is more than enough remaining to give you a great mental picture of what they must have been like in their prime. This will be a short post because we haven’t had much internet access, but we’ll be back in about a week with an update from the boat.
