Andrea left in the morning for Amsterdam so while we were on the road today, she was riding a bike along the canals. Not really - suppose she was at the institute doing science or something.
After getting everything organized in the apartment, we hit the road. It was a good day for driving and I did a little research to figure out a good spot to stop and see something along the way and decided to drop by Hadrian's wall at Birdoswald Fort. Hadrian's wall was built in 70 AD or so and stretched across the country in order to help keep the northern
heathens out of the Empire. It was a spot that Andrea and I had walked by 9 years ago and we could see the farmhouse across the valley that we stayed in during our trip. The girls had fun walking among the stones and walls and sheep.We also stopped by a church in Launceton - no real town there, just a church and some farmhouses. The church, built originally in 1160 was once the hang out of King Henry I and later torn up by Henry VIII when he was all about stealing things from the Catholics. There was a very nice docent there and we had a good chat with her.
We got back home around 5:30, ordered some Chinese food and went to bed.
Tomorrow, who knows?
