Bristol, England 007


 Traveling to Bristol on Tuesday
This was the only rainy day we got on our whole trip!
We were expecting more, but I couldn't have been happier
that it came on this day. Windy, drizzly, and all from the inside of a private coach!


D, Caleb, and Caitlin outside Bristol Cathedral
We did a midday concert here.

 The side of the Cathedral

 This was our WARM-UP ROOM!!!
Talk about acoustics! Second only to St. Paul's and the choir room there!

A typical English sight

 Tortworth Court (four pillars hotel)
Yes, we stayed in a CASTLE!
Manor might be a better word, but the two nights/days there
were definitely highlights!

 The back of the hotel looked out on this...



 and beyond...

*sigh*

a fairytale!

(go search "Tortworth Court Four Pillars Hotel" to see more!)


*larger sigh*

ANYWAY...

 Our breakfast room!
*even LARGER sigh*

I could live in this room!

We went to Wesley's Chapel
 and the Bristol Lord Mayor's House
where we met the Deputy Lord Mayor.

We also did a concert in Bedford and visited the John Bunyan Museum where we got to see
the door to the prison cell behind which John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress.
In the chapel there, we saw these eight beautiful stained glass windows.





 Whew! Getting them all on here was a nightmare, but finally, I did!
I'm skipping around just a bit, but hope y'all enjoy!
