On our trip we went to Glastonbury Abbey. Supposedly King Arthur's body was found there and it is still the site of his tomb. But isn't he maybe not even real. Yeah. The lady who was giving us a tour said that the man who found their bodies was digging, and he came across the body of a man and his blonde haired wife. He touched the wife's hair and it all disintegrated. Hmmm. But who knows. But the ruins were pretty and the tour guides were dressed up in 'contemporary' garb and role played during their tours.
This is the Abbot's kitchen, and the only part of the site that is preserved.
Here was our tour lady. She was from France and she had a whole role as a woman who came to Glastonbury to to work in the Abbey but then had to find a husband because she was French. She had a nice accent, but you had to really listen to understand.
This little dog loo was funny! Everyone has dogs, and they take them everyone- places Americans (or at least Americans that don't live in New York) would never take their dogs. Like tourist destinations and grocery stores. Good to know Glastonbury Abbey accommodates.
We were really lucky to have nice weather, as you can see. More to come! Hope this wasn't too dull for you Mom and Dad!
