The Trip Continues...

So, I should have said ahead of time that I KNOW this trip took place a year ago... a bit late to be sharing pics now... but a good friend (ahem, Amy) insisted I quit stalling and start blogging again, and now that my courses are finished for the semester, I really don't have an excuse not to. Other than that I have a new computer and am still having issues finding my pictures on it. And that I still have to write three exams. Oh, damnit, I'm going to do this anyway!
So these are my favorite pictures of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales (in that order). Enjoy!










This is an awesome example of a thatch roofed house. I was super impressed by them-- they are so intricate and require a master thatcher to create them. However, they're not nearly as popular as they used to be-- apparently it's outrageously expensive to get insurance on houses with them. Wonder why...








A beautiful home we visited that used to hide Catholic monks and priests. It was full of hiding places and false walls used to protect the clergy during Protestant reign.









Here's our group in front of London Bridge... not falling down.
