Leaving London

Another long, busy and fun day in London today, mostly spent in museums and doing a foot-numbing amount of walking. I walked over an hour west - which took me through Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Chinatown, Green Park, and a quick stop at Harrod's - to visit the new Medieval & Renaissance galleries in the V&A. It was wonderful and totally worth the pilgrimage - but I did

Back to England

After two days of mostly driving on freeways, we are back in southern England. Tonight and tomorrow night we are sleeping in Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire, near the Welsh border (and only an hour and a half from Oxford). We really enjoyed the natural beauty and lack of people in the Scottish Highlands and islands, but England feels like home and there's really nothing like stone fences and meadows

Europe 2010

All my worldly belongings for the next 80 days.After two long years of withdrawal from medieval cathedrals, we finally get to return to Europe tomorrow! I'll be traveling for 2.5 months and will be joined by two different companions along the way: my husband for the first part and a college friend for the second. The trip is very much focused on research and photography for Sacred Destinations,

More soon...

Just a quick note to promise that, despite appearances, I won't be abandoning this blog entirely now that we're home! Since our arrival back in Oregon on August 6 we've been quite busy settling in, seeing family and friends, finding an apartment, setting up house, unpacking all the stuff we put in storage or sent from Europe, marveling at the hugeness of everything, and the like. And finally, in

There's No Place Like Home

Tonight we booked some plane tickets! We are flying home to the States on Wednesday, August 6. Pretty exciting! I will miss Europe very much, but I will certainly be back. We also have lots of travel plans for the States and the Far East, so hopefully this blog will continue to be interesting.

Revised Plans

Happy Fourth of July! What an appropriate day to say we're just about ready to come home to the US of A. Europe is fantastic and we can never see enough, but moving from one hotel to another is getting tiring. And it's just been an awfully long time since we've been in our home country with family and friends and a place to call our own. So, we're winding things up a little faster than originally

Off to France!

Above is a homemade map of our plans for France. Except for the first few stops, this is not at all exact and we'll likely veer off the path quite a bit. But this gives a general idea of the route we'll take as we attempt to see as many big cathedrals, little churches and picturesque villages as we can. As you can see, the plan is to come from Italy in the east, go north to Strasbourg, then work
