Some Photos

Here's a small selection of photos from our recent trip in August and September. Our itinerary took us to London, Stratford Upon Avon, the Cotswolds (Stow on the Wold), Bath, Salisbury, Paris, and London again.

Here's a little relief in the wall at Hall's Croft in Stratford (once the home of Shakespeare's son-in-law, John Hall):

An arbor tunnel in the knot garden at New Place, the site where Shakespeare's house once stood:

K and Ian in front of the Stratford grammar school:
The knot garden at New Place:
Fosse Manor, our hotel in Stow on the Wold (we stayed in the carriage house in back--equally charming):
Ian and I at Bath, standing above the Roman Baths with Bath Abbey behind us:
Ian eating a Cornish pasty in a park in Bath and obviously loving it!
A lovely street in Salisbury:
Stonehenge, where the demons dwell / Where the banshees live and they do live well / Stonehenge, where a man's a man / and the children dance to the pipes of Pan!:
Salisbury cathedral:
The Eurostar platform at London's King's Cross / St. Pancras station:
Ian and K on a carousel in the Tuileries gardens in Paris:
Ian and ice cream cone in the Tuileries gardens. That's the Louvre behind him!:
Paris sunrise out of our window at the Hotel Innova on Blvd. Pasteur:
I'll post more one of these days along with a story or two. Wait until you here about my adventure with andouillette!
