Quick Picture Post

I haven't been able to blog in a while. The email has been tempermental and too slow for uploading pictures. I'm having so much fun! Everyday is an adventure. We FINALLY had a pretty day today. Even the Irish couldn't believe all of the rain we're having (and that's saying something). I was in Wales yesterday, and I'm in England now. Here are some pictures from the past few days. I don't have many good ones because of the weather. I mostly had to keep my camera in my purse so it wouldn't get wet. But, I got a few decent ones.

Blarney Castle:

This is how you have to kiss the Blarney Stone. That's the ground you see though the metal bars. Not quite what I imagined beforehand... I'm glad I'm not scared of heights.


Cheshire, England


Tomorrow, we head to the Lakes District, which is supposed to be spectacularly beautiful. I really hope the weather stays nice. It's been frustrating to have so many ugly days. But, today we had sun, and that was just what the doctor ordered.

  1. As an English teacher, you should enjoy the Lake District, home of Coleridge and Wordsworth, if I remember my Romantic poets! I hiked there for a few days when I was hitching around England in, let's see, 1978, I think it was! It was lovely.
