We're home from our visit to the United Kingdom and Ireland. It was great. We put over 2500 miles on our rental car. Needless to say we didn't stay any one place very long. We spent two nights in each London and Edinbrugh but every where else was a one night stay. We used public transportation in both those cities extensively. We stayed at B & B's so we ate breakfast there and pub food for dinner. We usually had bread, cheese and fruit for lunch. We saw many great things and met many great people.A few highlights would be seeing a rainbow over the walled city, Derry, above and sunset over the harbor in Oban, Scotland. Once while driving a lonely road in the highlands of Scotland a Royal Air Force plane tipped it's wings to us. The silence the crowd of tourists as they paid their respects to the war dead at a memorial to the Royal Marines on a mountain top in Scotland. The quiet reverence of the tourist crowd in Durham's Cathedral as bread and wine were served. People have worshipped on that spot since 1093 A. D. New-born lambs were playing nearby when we visited Hadrian's Wall. Soft-serve custard ice cream on the way the seeing Romeo and Juliette at the Globe was a delight!
It is a wonderful world.
