The International Edition - Skipping Across the Pond

2/2-12/17

Took a trip across the pond for family friends' interment ceremony. While there, did a little tour of the southern part of England. Visited some standard tourist places like Stonehenge, Cheddar Gorge, Royal Shakespeare Company, Canterbury Cathedral, and Windsor Castle; also visited some not as well known places like Avebury.
