To Caunterbury With Ful Devout Corage...

Dear Friends,
Our intrepid trio spent today in Canterbury exploring the historic town centre. After taking advantage of the chance to sleep in a little, we headed to see the ruins of St. Augustine's Abbey, the home and original burial place of Augustine when he and his monks arrived to christianize England in the 7th century. The next stop was Canterbury Cathedral to see its gorgeous stained glass windows and the spot on which Thomas Beckett was murdered. We had a lovely picnic lunch in the cathedral grounds to take advantage of the very hot weather we have been lucky enough to have. After lunch Cari and Emma went on a walking tour of the city, while Lauren had her own adventure exploring the area. After popping in to the grocery store to get some supplies for the next few days the girls headed back to the hostel to have tea in the garden and cook some dinner. We will probably have a quiet night tonight with games and possibly a movie. The next few days we will be camping and so will not be able to update the blog but check back later in the week to hear all about Stonehenge, Bath, and other fun exciting things!
Cheers!
Tim
