Brad and Alison's Visit- Wales & Battle

And finally, at the end of the trip, Brad found what he was looking for- a postbox and a telephone booth next to each other. Unfortunately, the sun had set and this is the best picture we could get.



After church on Sunday we went to Battle (site of the Battle of Hastings, 1066), where they were holding their annual Knight's Tournament. It was an incredibly rainy day, but we still saw some falconry and jousting and listened to some medieval music.




I thought this rock was kind of cool at the bottom of the mountain lake on Mount Snowdon, the tallest mountain in Wales- looks like a mask for the Greek chorus.







Stacey came and joined us for an early weekend trip up to Snowdonia National Park on the north coast of Wales- here are some pics from that excursion including a few adorable sheep.


Viva la Dover! I was able to take a day off whilst my friends, Brad and Alison, were visiting from the States, and we went to Canterbury and Dover, stopping through Rye and Bodiam Castle on the way back. Apparently I took one picture- here it is- from the top of Dover castle looking down on their 11th Century church and Roman lighthouse (France is in the background if you squint really hard).
