Sorry I’ve been lagging behind with my blogs.  I really haven’t been feeling well – physically or emotionally.

Back to the trip.  On the second last day, we were driving in and out of Britain and Wales.  While in Chester, we saw many black and white Tudor arcaded buildings called “Rows.”  They were gorgeous!

We couldn’t believe how many people were wandering around, shopping and dining at the little cafes.  It was a really nice area to visit.

I took this pic for my best friend, who loves elephants.

Jan and I tried to stuff him into my purse, but some of the town-folk started running at us with clubs.  We decided to leave him be.

Whilst on our travels, we decided we wouldn’t complain so much over the price of our gas back home.  Check this out:

Converted, that’s about twice as much as what we pay!  Blah!

Speaking of travelling, we experienced the true braking power of our bus, as the driver had to come to a very abrupt stop.  There was a massive tractor thing in front of us that was so large, it was taking down branches.  There was a bridal car in front of us.  Fortunately, we were able to stop before plowing into the back of them, as they slammed on the brakes to avoid a fallen branch:

Not only did he take down branches, but also a street light!

I wonder if he actually phoned the town to let them know how the light was damaged….hmmmm…..

Speaking of “lights” check out this four-legged lamp:

Here are some more pics while we drove in and out of Britain and Wales:

During a stop to tour the town, Jan and I went into a cafe.  While I was in the washroom, Jan ordered us a couple coffees and snacks.  I was a little shocked to walk over to the table and see these mammoth soup bowls containing our coffee!

After using the washroom seventeen more times, we left the cafe and headed back to the bus.

To be continued….

Today’s symptoms:  I’m still really down because I’m experiencing more pain than usual and my fatigue has increased.  I seem to be having a hard time getting myself out of this rut I’m in emotionally.
