This is a view of the village out our hotel room window.
After arriving in England we went straight to the seashore and had so much fun, but that is in a previous post. Here is just one picture of me and Tot throwing rocks into the North Sea. What can be more fun for a grandpa than to being with a grandchild who is having so much fun!
After the seashore we came home to Matt and Jenny's home--no address, just a name. That is so English.
,,, and were intertained by a superb puppet show. Here are the puppeteers.
We went to Church on Sunday to their very nice English ward. We met such nice people. I thanked the high priests for being such good people; I knew our little family would be taken care of. Then on Monday we took care of the children while Matt and Jenny got away to London and saw Les Mis (?sp?) On our last day, we started in Stonehenge.
As you can see, it was very windy!
This is just outside Stonehenge. You can see burial mounds behind and right of Jenny and the boys.
Then to Avebury, which also has strange hugh stones. Amy enjoyed rolling down the hill...
...and Tot enjoyed having Matt throw him in the air and catching him--which he always did fortunately.
Here are the large stones in a hugh circle. No one really knows why they were put there but they are very fun to look at and try to imagine ancient people cutting them out, transporting them, and putting them up.
We also visited a village in the Cottswolds. They were breathtakingly beautiful and made you want to just stay there. Of course, the plumbing and electrical is probably terrible, but when on vacation you can romanticize!

Levenham is a fun little village where all the buildings are at weird angles; I guess they just settled funny.
Then we flew home. Oh well, you can't vacation forever. We can hardly wait to go back to Vienna in August of 2010.
