Pictures Finale

Durham Cathedral. It was beautiful here. I wouldn't mind going to school here. The cathedral was beautiful. Unfortunately, as with most cathedrals, we weren't allowed to take pics inside.

This is Jeddburgh Abbey; another ruined abbey thanks to Henry VIII. Again, Henry VIII ordered the roof taken off and gave the stones to the people for use as building material in their own private gardens and homes.

Here we are at a segment of Hadrian's wall. This wall was built across England from the East Coast to the West Coast to keep out enemies from the north. It was apparently 8 feet high and 12 feet wide, or so. People have been dismantling the wall for building material until the 1970's when it was disignated a World Heritage Sight (I think). Feel free to correct me.

Does this place look familiar? It is called "The Shambles" and it is located in York. It was chosen to be the set for Diagon Alley in the first Harry Potter movie. "The Shambles" got its name from the way that butchers would display meat on tables. The tables were called "Shambles." The buildings that jut into the road are from the middle ages. We had tea in a cute store called The Earl Grey Tea Room. It was so much fun.

This is a humorous drain at Queen's College in Cambridge. We toured the college including the dining area for the professors. It was absolutely beautiful.

And here is King's College in Cambridge.

We had a wonderful time. Of course there are several hundred more pictures. If you would like to see them all let me know. FINE
