good-BYE! max

well max has moved on from this stage in our lives and i expect that he is back in the great states by now - enjoying the comfort of good-old southern Indiana - i am now in a new place just south of London called Tilford - I have landed a little job through connections as a gardener on this amazing little farm - i will have to post pictures tomorrow -

the past week in Canterbury was amazing - Peter and Sally were so nice to us and fattened us back up to the pre-trip level - one meal a day + walking everywhere had dropped a good bit of weight for us but in Canterbury breakfast was mandatory!

Here are Max and Peter and Sally as we all enjoyed a game of Boules, which is the french version of Bocce Ball - Max won every time but i was always a close second -

Despite there more mature age we had a hard time keeping up with there sight seeing schedule - we got a great trip down to Dover again but this time we got to walk along the top of the cliffs - it is difficult to see the actual grandure and depth in a photo but the water is probably a hundred yards down in this one - a ten or twelve second stone's throw -


+Opposite the cliffs are wheat fields that stretch over hills into the distance - the sky was perfect on the day we went - it looks like something out of a movie -



We also went in town to Canterbury's catherdral and were absolutely amazed at the scale of it - by far the most amazing building i've seen in all of europe -


For the next couple of days i will be working here - the internet is fast and i hope to post some more photos as they come in -and before i forget i had a request to post the full list of countries we have traveled through so i will do that before i retire for tonight -
