England 1991

Terry and Paul used some frequent flier miles to tour the UK during June 1999. We flew into Heathrow, and spent a little time in London, but mostly toured around the country using BritRail passes and rental cars.

	Canterbury Cathedral.
Dover Castle
	Windsor Castle
Christchurch College Oxford
	Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire I asked a guide at the Abbey if the destruction happened during the War, thinking WWII. The guide said that yes indeed the Abbey was firebombed during a war, but it was the army of Henry VIII in the 1500s!
Edinburough Castle Tour guide here told us that this castle had one of the first examples of multi-story living quarters, some as high as ten stories. The trouble was, they had no indoor plumbing. So at certain times during the day, the town crier announced that it was permissible to throw garbage and human waste out the windows. I supposed that would be a bad time to be on the street
	Loch Ness
The Scottish Highlands. Note the snow on the mountains, and this is mid-June!
	The Roman baths in Bath
I expected a spiritual experience when we visited Stonehenge. Unfortunately, it is at the intersection of two heavily used highways, with an RAF base nearby. The hardest part of taking this picture was to catch a moment without a group of tourists in the frame.
