Adventures in Inverness Scotland

~ JodiLea ~ 2 Comments

I learned something important today.  Maybe I should say I re-learned it because I learned this lesson several times prior to today.  Grrrr!  Never assume. Never assume that hubby understands what you are wanting him to do.  Specifically.  Exactly.

This afternoon while everyone was napping, I transferred photos off my camera and organized them by port, because I am OCD like that.  To my dismay, I discovered that the photos I asked him to take were missing something.  Something that made them make sense along with the copy I planned to write.  Unless you are familiar with this area I’m sure the joke is lost.  It really wasn’t that hilarious in the first place and now it is useless.NessieSpottedMeAtTheRiverNess

The sign my hubby forgot to get in the photo said: ‘River Ness’.

Adventures in Liverpool

~ JodiLea

The Bronze Statues of The Fab Four in front of Town Hall.  I have no idea who the two chicks are, but they would not move and hubby became impatient.

Our tour guide in Liverpool was a Beatles fan, so we got to see some famous sights, besides churches and castles.

On the right is a photo of St. Lukes Cathedral – it made me think of my family in St. Louis, MO. Hi y’all!  Miss you!

 

Everyone got to have a photo taken of them on Penny Lane. Even better, was the musical accompaniment as our bus rolled down the street.  “Penny Lane” by the Beatles of course!

Everyone enjoyed that – even those who pretended not to.  You could just tell.

Adventures in Dover

~ JodiLea

This is as close as we got to the White Cliffs of Dover.  From the Dock and from the Sea.

Why are these cliffs white?

Because they are made of chalk.

I never walked through an old English village before. Canterbury was the very picture of a quaint little village. Sure, it has St. Georges Clock and Cathedrals here and there, but our walking tour guide took us into the “real” Canterbury.

We did a little shopping around, along with everyone else.

As we left Dover in the evening, it treated us to its dusk lights.

A gorgeous farewell from Canterbury
