| Canterbury Cathedral |
Last weekend, we had a full-day field study to Canterbury. It was a great day and we got to see several amazing sites! Below are captioned photos. Sorry for the lack of background information- I'm a bit pressed for time today. Today consisted of: breakfast, morning lecture, digging 10-5, meeting, dinner, homework, and then a double packing job. We are leaving for our end-of-term trip on Saturday at 4:45 am, so I needed to pack as much as possible tonight so that I can get to bed early on Friday! At the same time, I'm packing up everything else for when I leave on Thursday the 19th (we get back to the castle at 10pm on the 18th, so again won't have much time). All's going well and tomorrow's post will have lots of photos from this week's dig. :)
Also, I posted about Canterbury Cathedral and St. Augustine's Abbey last fall, so if you want more detail or more photos, check those posts!

Oh my, this is ancient - the first Bishop of Canterbury - the early 600's! And we think the buildings in Halifax, NS are old!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time on your trip, Hanna. It all sounds very exciting, especially Wales. Perhaps you will see Will and Kate!

Wow; another stunning set of photos. That cathedral roof is really something ! I especially like the photo of the soccer field on top of the burial site (!), and the view of the town and pedestrian street from up in Westgate Tower.
ReplyDeleteYou had a jam-packed day and I imagine Friday will be just as busy; the 4:45AM field trip departure on Saturday morning sounds... challenging ! I imagine there will be lots of napping taking place on the bus ;) Where are you headed on that first day ? 5 days on the road - how exciting !!
