Up at 4:15am, we got dressed and finished putting the last few things in our suitcases. Made it downstairs in time to say goodbye to the Opalinskis and the Fannins who would both be extending their time in England. The rest of us were on the van and on the road by 4:45am. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> We arrived at Gatwick airport at 5:45am and began the checkin process with Delta. Things were headed smoothly until we went through security. Debbie had packed all the souvenirs and gifts in her carryon - including hand cream for her mom. It was too big to meet the requirements. The security lady gave of the option to check one of our backpacks with the cream, so we quickly pulled everything together and Debbie headed back with her to the Delta counter. Unfortunately, they wanted to charge us $80 because it was a second bag. So that was a no go. On the way back in to the security area, Debbie walked through the metal detector with her phone in her pocket so she was pulled aside for a full pat-down. By this point the security lady felt awful - she went to speak with a manager and was given permission to test a small sample of the hand cream. When it passed inspection, we were allowed to take it and head on to the terminal. We caught up with the rest of our group members and headed to get some breakfast. We found a little cafe called Armadillo's and crowded into a big round booth. But we were all so exhausted by this time that we just kind of went through the motions of eating.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><br /></p>Finally, we boarded our flight which left at 9am UK time (4am US time). We were both zonked for most of the flight, sleeping through the main meal and waking up in time for the snack later of pizza and gelatto. Arrived back in Atlanta at 1pm, went through border patrol screening, picked up our luggage (dumped the handcream in a suitcase!), rechecked our bags and went through customs with our declaration forms, which was a breeze. When we got to our correct terminal, we grabbed good ol' Chik-Fil-A for lunch and hung out with our friends for one last time before boarding our flight home. Of course this leg was late - our 4:30 flight didn't leave until 5:30pm - but Debbie's mom was still waiting for us when we arrived home back in Tampa.<br /><br />We headed back to Seffner, anxious to see the boys. So glad to finally wrap our arms around them - we had only gotten to Skype with them one time while we were gone! Debbie's mom had picked up an ice cream cake to celebrate her birthday and Daryl's mom had also made a chocolate cake to celebrate Daniels' 1 year anniversary of his ServPro franchise. So we had Daniel's crew up to the house and pigged out on cake.<br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZBZNAQaM2KMayXHyC9NgA2jBTI4OIruRLWxmX3v2SBCMbzPr91D1smxfnn2EjT3NJgF8Ksl3Xc3PfB6OSL7LWcMeZbWSfTXezkPQG51wjwqUYsrxtWlwGKw-o8qJiTOONEsjJffS1py0y/s1600/IMG_0662.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZBZNAQaM2KMayXHyC9NgA2jBTI4OIruRLWxmX3v2SBCMbzPr91D1smxfnn2EjT3NJgF8Ksl3Xc3PfB6OSL7LWcMeZbWSfTXezkPQG51wjwqUYsrxtWlwGKw-o8qJiTOONEsjJffS1py0y/s200/IMG_0662.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625691754017508594" border="0" /></a><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwLf0GjXflxjwQgUCPMzkyhfXpPO1uaQLi4RHnbt8YuSslKi_GhSnDtM5wj5_feoVS4bgjSmq3LcYINcroU4g-Sg-OYTKZvoTsoVL-znPi-pB2Gt_E6URmuxhVUJvpkUgXHY12pwlF_Px/s1600/IMG_0665.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIwLf0GjXflxjwQgUCPMzkyhfXpPO1uaQLi4RHnbt8YuSslKi_GhSnDtM5wj5_feoVS4bgjSmq3LcYINcroU4g-Sg-OYTKZvoTsoVL-znPi-pB2Gt_E6URmuxhVUJvpkUgXHY12pwlF_Px/s200/IMG_0665.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625691765563162162" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> </p>The Allen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07164608221809233451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830888405806874100.post-80017178483881220322011-07-13T10:12:00.000-07:002011-07-13T10:12:01.751-07:00Day Eight - The London Blitz Part TwoAfter Westminster, we headed across the street to the Central Methodist Building which serves as the headquarters for British Methodism. There's a great cafe in their basement where we had lunch before receiving a tour of the building. At the end of the tour, they let us out onto the little balcony which overlooks the Abbey's square. They rented this space to the BBC for their coverage of the latest royal wedding.<br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnrfIADdRztWZix8RUJF41N2VkHVG5Y9ZtJSjupbX97HwjxelXnP2iTlcC9gC1VPr2Iyq-t_bT2qk9n3UzAVLV9TBRDtiEavrDNRjKw6BH8kYq9kKHFaeTPUtBDY9UUWZPdHcef8Rcl27/s1600/IMG_0556.JPG"><img style="display: block;

And on our walk there we passed the beautiful gardens of St. James' Park. When we arrived outside the palace, we realized something was going on - there were thousands of people dressed up in their finery all around and lining up outside the palace. Turns out it was the first of the Queen's summer garden parties! While the Palace was closed, our pass allowed us to get into the Royal Mews (stables) and so we walked past all of the people in line and were able to check out all of the great outfits and hats.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;

It's also where all of the carriages and coaches are kept as well as the Queen's cars.

This was the one attraction for the day not covered by our pass and it cost 18 pounds per person. There are 32 glass gondolas that hold about 20-25 people each. The ride is one revolution on the wheel, but because the wheel moves so slowly, the ride takes about 30 minutes. Brett confessed on the ride he had been skeptical of the price for a ferris wheel but was so glad we had done it because it was a great experience with fabulous views. So glad we did this one - everyone loved it!<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWoorMIINlCxElDXwwSPh9g0PjPDHGUEEgQ1koOd4uXZuPRaKkAwi0qqb9hB-JZ04wxjKrTgksOqjH6AHN13j09NHUtIxKs1o2K7Xy2LErusix5CTccl9mVI873Id_XyXC27uxTRWCP3N/s1600/DSC_0155.JPG"><img style="display: block;

We wanted to try the IceBar, so we took the tube to Picadilly Circus and started walking there. Unfortunately, they were booked up for the next couple of hours so we walked up to Trafalgar Square (with its lions, fountain, Olympic countdown clock) and found a place there. It was way more upscale, a bar really, but it worked in a pinch. The group toasted Debbie and Brett for a job well done on our London Blitz! We were all exhausted and got some bad directions from a server as we headed for the tube. By the time we rode the tube and switched to the train, we got back to the hotel at 11:45pm - 15 minutes before our subway cards expired and 16 hours and 15 minutes after we had left that morning!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;

So everyone brainstormed their "top three" must sees for our free day. Using our London Pass book as well as the Opalinski's London guidebook, Debbie put together a schedule to hit all the highlights. They called her "the planner" and Brett served as the expediter to set the pace for walking and navigate the rail and tube stops. Even the Fannins decided to stay with us for the majority of the day. We nicknamed this whirlwind tour of London, our "London Blitz."<br /></i><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> We were at breakfast in the lobby by 7am and out the door of our hotel by 7:30am. We walked to the nearby station and caught the Docklands Light Rail (DLR) into London proper where we switched to the tube (subway) system. We arrived at St. Paul's Cathedral a few minutes before their opening time at 8:30am. So we goofed around a bit.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFkS4b7X2GZ0be48hOYmWUpTWhkQacl_0KD5orYB2A6mOlonqQ1rj-oeDKtjKYesdNv5ZXImWvLeC4Y6RmG6WiKtd8jHfNTtq9NL0Xsc2qMrwmoaQLw078HNHRwHmn_OPAC5XxMMAo6180/s1600/DSC_0001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFkS4b7X2GZ0be48hOYmWUpTWhkQacl_0KD5orYB2A6mOlonqQ1rj-oeDKtjKYesdNv5ZXImWvLeC4Y6RmG6WiKtd8jHfNTtq9NL0Xsc2qMrwmoaQLw078HNHRwHmn_OPAC5XxMMAo6180/s200/DSC_0001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625574231409143122" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPLv3khODFI7enBrZqztP6Xv7snRxPsvD5avMGzwIWLUBcBBVz1MQMMo6BNtdtdZZ9XD98gzt_ZTLjDDHFj-GBYFK5W4MhMQMcT6aMjKAWVhLRIV94RABdKTRS3gIg7195n51iDH2tYCd/s1600/IMG_0515.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPLv3khODFI7enBrZqztP6Xv7snRxPsvD5avMGzwIWLUBcBBVz1MQMMo6BNtdtdZZ9XD98gzt_ZTLjDDHFj-GBYFK5W4MhMQMcT6aMjKAWVhLRIV94RABdKTRS3gIg7195n51iDH2tYCd/s200/IMG_0515.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625574253277864530" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-B384gJjaisonIJj_jPKTbbaQcAIAlxUfSEcuuEvwu3qMyj05d_-IsVTlZttn9LqNVIl8bzKySq_-vviKFWCW2ydor6-UEOwH5agUTy8-kMCccJ_vx5Zo9DxqDguo5O5ZDD9LlfI-zskC/s1600/IMG_0518.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-B384gJjaisonIJj_jPKTbbaQcAIAlxUfSEcuuEvwu3qMyj05d_-IsVTlZttn9LqNVIl8bzKySq_-vviKFWCW2ydor6-UEOwH5agUTy8-kMCccJ_vx5Zo9DxqDguo5O5ZDD9LlfI-zskC/s200/IMG_0518.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625574263016630482" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Ed laid on the ground to get a shot of the cathedral; Andra the nurse practioner jumped in to give him CPR!<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOluzlKW6_L1D0b0pe03a4fvC_KH41biwhd4kJZnheNChm5AityjycbmEwD2dUn0pBupzMwhsO2Jm6fAGvrYzjuHZVP2Hv9WikI3t5O1om9xxtHknJMLMI9MjaRq1MIFcyDiIpeiJOC710/s1600/IMG_0519.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOluzlKW6_L1D0b0pe03a4fvC_KH41biwhd4kJZnheNChm5AityjycbmEwD2dUn0pBupzMwhsO2Jm6fAGvrYzjuHZVP2Hv9WikI3t5O1om9xxtHknJMLMI9MjaRq1MIFcyDiIpeiJOC710/s200/IMG_0519.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625574924304631714" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Once inside, the London Pass worked great to cover our entrance fee and we set off with our audio tour handsets (ipods) to explore. St. Paul's inside was indeed very beautiful and opulent. Like Westminster Abbey later in the day, we were not allowed to take photographs. We spent a lot of time in the crypt below exploring some of the graves - architect Sir Christopher Wren, Florence Nightengale and many others. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iaxAZlNqFDCMfcogBmoyVf3TE_d51sACQ4cQXHmyZN8o9Mj3HJfRICxPDoOGXbVVJPA5_RBJNZB0eG7Aym3WTYfyYKWflcV-3hZTtmXHpbbM5w814T_9lxOkKt2eaC3OBVjLEofAu6Lf/s1600/DSC_0129.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2iaxAZlNqFDCMfcogBmoyVf3TE_d51sACQ4cQXHmyZN8o9Mj3HJfRICxPDoOGXbVVJPA5_RBJNZB0eG7Aym3WTYfyYKWflcV-3hZTtmXHpbbM5w814T_9lxOkKt2eaC3OBVjLEofAu6Lf/s200/DSC_0129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625574239431726002" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPHP5lV6K4xiQ9Gn7aiIKyM_ZuYaxD2s5R6WpxRoIpDjliL6YVaDB_eX7dyDU3BfOuJuENXB3e2zOZIsyUOjcFU5FzgH4mcD9ht9boihuwkk-gk2sWaLJP78kJ9-yg9WkUJPmU-hTGmfvN/s1600/DSC_0010.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPHP5lV6K4xiQ9Gn7aiIKyM_ZuYaxD2s5R6WpxRoIpDjliL6YVaDB_eX7dyDU3BfOuJuENXB3e2zOZIsyUOjcFU5FzgH4mcD9ht9boihuwkk-gk2sWaLJP78kJ9-yg9WkUJPmU-hTGmfvN/s200/DSC_0010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625574236376747106" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0IAkCuLJQIdQ8yVDtnD38Y3t9ELtUrdyxOchn75jj9EzmEbthlomKrxpfEDbN8A3XMeEtVpIoQsR_uURRaUeMYAo7RhtAHl79BEe_f76IVuO6pniSPBvbZ6pB6n1pxnONogUa9QvQd88c/s1600/IMG_0517.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0IAkCuLJQIdQ8yVDtnD38Y3t9ELtUrdyxOchn75jj9EzmEbthlomKrxpfEDbN8A3XMeEtVpIoQsR_uURRaUeMYAo7RhtAHl79BEe_f76IVuO6pniSPBvbZ6pB6n1pxnONogUa9QvQd88c/s200/IMG_0517.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625574914630339346" border="0" /></a>After St. Paul's we got back on the tube and headed for the Tower Hill area featuring the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. We got there just in time to join the free 55 minute tour given by one of the Yeoman Warders who lives there and guards the palace. Their nickname is "Beefeaters" and this is an invitation only opportunity for which one must have already served 22 years in the military to receive (they provide housing onsite for the Beefeaters and their families). Our guide Jimmy gave us 900 years of history in just 55 minutes brilliantly! We heard all about the prisoners and the executions there (private in the garden, public outside the wall up the hill).<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4plB_T8HcpabkOl_VfuM7pZ7Whtk7-M5U8GOy5ZCkRekVtsyYP50Y4TZ4hdHu3GaMNoSBmfm0ER7hj12zy0vlThVlgf2caC1RnuBcHbS7z9PH_ceG8kWeTfMhw7gOagNSe2KIUqGLGAPL/s1600/IMG_0521.JPG"><img style="display: block;

One king had to have his head sewn back on and be cleaned up dressed up after death because they had not made a portrait of him yet!<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Next we headed out on our own to explore the Jewel House with the Crown Jewels - crowns, maces, orbs, scepters, swords and plates.

Darrin had bought us a lovely box of chocolates to mark our last day together. They were delicious!<br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Our first stop was Stonehenge. This was not originally part of the tour and was something additional we had to pay for, but it was requested by several folks on the trip since we were so close. We arrived about 9:30am before most of the other tour groups (who were stacked up as we left). We used the audio tour and decided they didn't understand the concept of "short version." But it was an incredible view and definitely an interesting experience to be that close to Stonehenge and wonder how those stones had gotten there! </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;

A little crazy to think that they have actually built a Legoland a few miles from Windsor Castle! When we arrived at the complex for the castle, we met our guide Ross there and had lunch in the shopping area - Caffe Nero with the Opalinskis and the Thomases. We picked up paninis out of a refrigerated case which they toasted. Daryl got chips and I got yogurt to go with it. Later we were joking around about buying Brett this hat so that he could be an easily visible leader for us on our free day in London.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivFHXL5J0_s5L-UtfPxQyu4LfNt2WyHOBgoSQOq7XN_o2SpTM-owjhmxo04fmRewInfvsfm9rvTYvA9-KZ1LiE1p8MVrlWl0FZm_kn6VD8Tgb257pvBSEQe537a2UGOlJm5hyphenhyphenBSCZNHDcG/s1600/DSC_0032a.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivFHXL5J0_s5L-UtfPxQyu4LfNt2WyHOBgoSQOq7XN_o2SpTM-owjhmxo04fmRewInfvsfm9rvTYvA9-KZ1LiE1p8MVrlWl0FZm_kn6VD8Tgb257pvBSEQe537a2UGOlJm5hyphenhyphenBSCZNHDcG/s200/DSC_0032a.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625565286718471890" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Approaching the castle, Ross talked about the history of the place and how it had been built in stages over many centuries by England's monarchs.

There was some amazing art on display - enormous in its scale and by masters like Rubens and Van Dyck. St. George's Hall, the site of many formal dinners and state occasions, was very impressive as well. We concluded our tour of the grounds by visiting the chapel where many members of the royal family are buried including Queen Elizabeth's parents and sister. We finished up with a little shopping and Debbie got her picture taken near one of the guards - if you got too close he started stomping his feet!<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp0ayci8kt7wsRVytApfOHpthLsftsTYlAYYsi4yjGqYWlfQDxdj56ZsrCuuw9V0bUQsVIqc8WUT6kE6DSUIDsclvWA1BYsq1cQ7X6nvh3gSDMMcaDGU-r4Q0tvIhzDzm3pjgNw-NCApCe/s1600/IMG_0507.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp0ayci8kt7wsRVytApfOHpthLsftsTYlAYYsi4yjGqYWlfQDxdj56ZsrCuuw9V0bUQsVIqc8WUT6kE6DSUIDsclvWA1BYsq1cQ7X6nvh3gSDMMcaDGU-r4Q0tvIhzDzm3pjgNw-NCApCe/s200/IMG_0507.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625568968530871554" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">We were back on the bus by 2:30pm and supposed to arrive at our hotel in east London by 4pm. Unfortunately we took the long way did not get to our hotel until past 5:30pm. We dumped our luggage in an area just off the lobby, said goodbye to Darrin and picked up our new drivers in two vans for the night in London. We had 6:30pm dinner reservations in the theatre district at the Marquess of Angelsby and made it just a few minutes past. After a lovely meal of salad, fish and chips and fruit crumble, we headed down to Haymarket Street to Her Majesty's Theater to catch a performance of Phantom of the Opera. This is Daryl's all-time favorite music and it was wonderful! Some people in our group had never seen it and really loved it. The theatre was quite large (four stores) but quite intimate in its seating arrangement. EO had arranged for our tickets just that afternoon and was able to secure first floor seats.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBJyf04IRQp71977BdOX_YWZq-Z6wDGt5376YHqHk2l5KdcSLBzH3MdvsJO-StRqYG5scR3fFY9ptopILdTKU_YBAIH56IvIJlEBdFphTZDuFCaHL48s76TxSGHLR-tzQQW87JyVDgfqS/s1600/DSC_0064.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVBJyf04IRQp71977BdOX_YWZq-Z6wDGt5376YHqHk2l5KdcSLBzH3MdvsJO-StRqYG5scR3fFY9ptopILdTKU_YBAIH56IvIJlEBdFphTZDuFCaHL48s76TxSGHLR-tzQQW87JyVDgfqS/s200/DSC_0064.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625571042229769794" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcoOXvJRexO664g7A5HAZuRvToNkP97cqnwKzgJ9THvN2eVvLilw2G6YuWNL-FPUHowH97-04mAOoj8GpSkV8R9qkozVGIbQy5DqprimqVMcF8GgB-uoen7Di2eeHGRZBapgm1-NpSNsh/s1600/IMG_0510.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEcoOXvJRexO664g7A5HAZuRvToNkP97cqnwKzgJ9THvN2eVvLilw2G6YuWNL-FPUHowH97-04mAOoj8GpSkV8R9qkozVGIbQy5DqprimqVMcF8GgB-uoen7Di2eeHGRZBapgm1-NpSNsh/s200/IMG_0510.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625569536678912242" border="0" /></a> After the performance, we headed back into the vans and to the hotel.

This was at the suggestion of our bus driver Darrin who wanted to add a stop to our itinerary. He did not feel our journey would be complete without a chance to wander through one of the quaint Cottsworld villages and he took us to the village of Great Tew. The Cottswold is an designated area of natural beauty and the homes and businesses in the village were a great example of the thatched roofs which once were found all over England. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;

Our first stop here was the town square with its large monument to Lady Godiva. Lady Godiva was an English noblewoman who lived in the early 11th century. She rode naked through town on horseback to protest her husband's heavy taxation of the people. Behind her on one of the buildings was a large clock that at a a certain time each day has a figure of Lady Godiva come out on horseback.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8xGPHE_Sh8inkJYi6qxvUbS21heTHC1rw58Koy5eN4akg53iV3mXGURq4BMDhisP0RL-vLz8o2ZMphAcqJ6FdegmLjFoWACiHUXJNVJORAtAnb3CPOb-r-ieBqJZQX3vnF2admNgDcpy/s1600/IMG_0442.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8xGPHE_Sh8inkJYi6qxvUbS21heTHC1rw58Koy5eN4akg53iV3mXGURq4BMDhisP0RL-vLz8o2ZMphAcqJ6FdegmLjFoWACiHUXJNVJORAtAnb3CPOb-r-ieBqJZQX3vnF2admNgDcpy/s200/IMG_0442.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625557938472369810" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUxLSzg2qtCHkKn4vzyw2l_ktqrG4_VfvSq_w5JAkMS8oBZz8y9rAItumLoZjAcCkLcpHGFL1yj4QOB7gYcM7ygffk-8dtuIRwvgk7Gl7bpwI2bzY5PmF65limRsBcxeZjJGxFRh9yTQR/s1600/IMG_0443.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbUxLSzg2qtCHkKn4vzyw2l_ktqrG4_VfvSq_w5JAkMS8oBZz8y9rAItumLoZjAcCkLcpHGFL1yj4QOB7gYcM7ygffk-8dtuIRwvgk7Gl7bpwI2bzY5PmF65limRsBcxeZjJGxFRh9yTQR/s200/IMG_0443.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625557941818660450" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">We also saw the ruins of the first cathedral here in Coventry, dating back to the time of Lady Godiva.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyjeDyPL-5g3BArwdarmlaOWKMviukjiW5_cz9L6BQuyJtKVEaNRGEpw6T37fmgKIhXwewrsCTx345wzQSZHz6jSPWClyAmYJwbRf6H2fsIjSrErCsyQMBTtQAFJmM1lfakFYuk0o7M1lG/s1600/IMG_0444.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyjeDyPL-5g3BArwdarmlaOWKMviukjiW5_cz9L6BQuyJtKVEaNRGEpw6T37fmgKIhXwewrsCTx345wzQSZHz6jSPWClyAmYJwbRf6H2fsIjSrErCsyQMBTtQAFJmM1lfakFYuk0o7M1lG/s200/IMG_0444.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625557947099998642" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Rlonr1BvTFjBtSeNtALL1e27mByYet3HMii5C-naDOr1eFDJz7-dwP69WaJ7zS2v-0H7MJ5DDm0nORB6bcQ49R0HLpEo8qBUUNYYf-woEOdyfIcDZbfU-UQySrc_lf8IA6PlJzVMOfR1/s1600/IMG_0446.JPG"><br /></a>Finally we made our way to the ruins of the bombed out St. Michael's Cathedral that dated to the 1300s.

We finished the night up by packing in our room and skypeing with the kids. Thankfully since the weather had turned much warmer, we picked up the English version of a portable air conditioner at the front desk - you poured water into a huge reservoir which the fan blew air across and then out into our room.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxNuqEPVti_ZUQz8rVx_XM0ccie2Ah3_8YjWlWkeJEGxe4IjYvotujGmgoLBjZ3g1fwXhl4BjCq1A8ptcel0BCuTv15VEYrIhJ3hoMIy649Uj_FSKj5YACMkUPbe8760CP_uTMIoiL641i/s1600/IMG_0461.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxNuqEPVti_ZUQz8rVx_XM0ccie2Ah3_8YjWlWkeJEGxe4IjYvotujGmgoLBjZ3g1fwXhl4BjCq1A8ptcel0BCuTv15VEYrIhJ3hoMIy649Uj_FSKj5YACMkUPbe8760CP_uTMIoiL641i/s200/IMG_0461.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625561683800411378" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYJ8jk-yiMWC5GMhZGcxuxnjQn-CKGOwHPJqPWekjj2iVwN0G0Z5pwlzpGVhB5BqAAGRNFaTfqafNKUb4iAolR7qVwMzceiKFzAx6lhhShfjKZXOm48wqWNO_bLodI9d5uxLG00qjuCBbl/s1600/IMG_0463.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYJ8jk-yiMWC5GMhZGcxuxnjQn-CKGOwHPJqPWekjj2iVwN0G0Z5pwlzpGVhB5BqAAGRNFaTfqafNKUb4iAolR7qVwMzceiKFzAx6lhhShfjKZXOm48wqWNO_bLodI9d5uxLG00qjuCBbl/s200/IMG_0463.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625562162067094722" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><br /></p>The Allen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07164608221809233451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830888405806874100.post-3690398724813928942011-07-09T08:39:00.000-07:002011-07-09T08:39:00.133-07:00Day Five - LondonSunday the 26th was a special day. First it was Debbie's 35th birthday! And second, it was our first foray into London to explore the city a bit. We had breakfast and were out the door on the bus by 9:00am again. Our intent was to get to Wesley's Chapel in London on City Road for their 11:00am worship service. Unfortunately we were delayed in arriving because of heavy traffic and missed the first 20 minutes of the service. But what we did get to experience in the rest of the worship was truly a blessing, including a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Leslie Griffiths, entitled "When All Else Fails." The inside was beautiful, although much fancier than in Wesley's day. Of particular interest were four stained glass windows depicting scenes in Methodist history: 1) John Wesley preaching, 2) The Wesley brothers' conversions, 3) Wesley preaching to the world, and 4) Bishop Francis Asbury receiving the mantle of leadership for America.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqb1PKee4cGwHTSDaiXNkqeCGr1ersqjXR6wj_F_G_HwunJMqjgY_fK9DgSQdjeWjlgs79f3PRJoR2pqFG7Tpoj5nu2DKZC5Clx4AcD-MOXoygi8rfSa2f0hG8mh-p7kasVJD4VW7wRsn8/s1600/DSC_0030a.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Other notables we saw were author Daniel Defoe (Robinson Crusoe), poet William Blake, and author John Bunyan (Pilgrim's Progress). The picture of Susanna Wesley's grave is a stock photo from the Internet - as it was Sunday there was no caretaker present to let us into the section where her tomb was so that we could see it up close.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;

When he was done we hurried back to Christ Church so that we could finally get inside by attending the 6:00pm evensong service. As we cut through their quad, you could see preparations being made for a formal night celebration of that college to mark the end of the term.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2B2J2rmOcwEaV7aKfKQ4qwnE3268lXU21hvFSEUYozH78wSiiPqJIIz7zEK9aGuYEu_rvlDPBkrT5SUN6uzvQHRmoGTrK0sT_7jgD85cZQhpbcH5gnotCfBDHMfV0wBl0RYbJV2qU9ki/s1600/IMG_0312.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2B2J2rmOcwEaV7aKfKQ4qwnE3268lXU21hvFSEUYozH78wSiiPqJIIz7zEK9aGuYEu_rvlDPBkrT5SUN6uzvQHRmoGTrK0sT_7jgD85cZQhpbcH5gnotCfBDHMfV0wBl0RYbJV2qU9ki/s200/IMG_0312.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625521165895279858" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Uv2Zu6f-9x1kprIOrmZvluby4tgb9Zfl7hqiIjTKHmSGwREwJk3vlGx-etu-KCRz9XC7eTysuaOAgromAMf4bYPzC-fE4rcxVCkIXrFYHfZcAH7dDm-ZFNJ_Aw3oxNlEj0QvV_fm_djU/s1600/DSC_0342.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Uv2Zu6f-9x1kprIOrmZvluby4tgb9Zfl7hqiIjTKHmSGwREwJk3vlGx-etu-KCRz9XC7eTysuaOAgromAMf4bYPzC-fE4rcxVCkIXrFYHfZcAH7dDm-ZFNJ_Aw3oxNlEj0QvV_fm_djU/s200/DSC_0342.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625520358354164562" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGvnIqhyphenhyphenWbn0Xbldq8_s7FdZkY2EXJN5fNDXsBUSICxHZcHaiktIfd3WpQVBmc1iMgeu7usCw1mcHJgSUuQqI1JKEFNyaxbRi1-cyJ3QQYHr8T-n6Folry-tHXtK9_uA_TQCIUQUFsuJWd/s1600/DSC_0347.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGvnIqhyphenhyphenWbn0Xbldq8_s7FdZkY2EXJN5fNDXsBUSICxHZcHaiktIfd3WpQVBmc1iMgeu7usCw1mcHJgSUuQqI1JKEFNyaxbRi1-cyJ3QQYHr8T-n6Folry-tHXtK9_uA_TQCIUQUFsuJWd/s200/DSC_0347.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625521154490524466" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqB3WT-l7zh3yf2eM14xwyfPHzhiS9aetk5SL4TyI0E7h722-MAu5d2NHf-qpuaqqKOIHRo_fmqWTrq3jl5qBazyDYOA0w3e4Fb7MGpAP3DAQyOO5oQaflnJDSBP9SeHnO7YcMcndHN0E/s1600/IMG_0313.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqB3WT-l7zh3yf2eM14xwyfPHzhiS9aetk5SL4TyI0E7h722-MAu5d2NHf-qpuaqqKOIHRo_fmqWTrq3jl5qBazyDYOA0w3e4Fb7MGpAP3DAQyOO5oQaflnJDSBP9SeHnO7YcMcndHN0E/s200/IMG_0313.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625521174441296370" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_en4TNva-EYtiaHHIrqOaW94nmzdSbtS7jVOHUxKxIM8MfWvCDHIDXYPj3okwvWgm1fPkfrqIlZ69aTthLHTUnWZRq3yM7i-YDuGyUS-0z8UANK3shSPWXhT8VNdJFWc1zAcy5XcHzCu/s1600/IMG_0314.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_en4TNva-EYtiaHHIrqOaW94nmzdSbtS7jVOHUxKxIM8MfWvCDHIDXYPj3okwvWgm1fPkfrqIlZ69aTthLHTUnWZRq3yM7i-YDuGyUS-0z8UANK3shSPWXhT8VNdJFWc1zAcy5XcHzCu/s200/IMG_0314.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625521190754497922" border="0" /></a>For dinner in the dining hall this night we were served salmon, mashed potatoes, carrots, cabbage and chocolate mousse cake. When the steward found out that Daryl and Ed did not like salmon, they quickly made up sausage for them instead for dinner. Our whole dining experience that week at Oxford was the epitome of radical hospitality. After dinner Jim led the devotional for the entire group and then the four couples went back out to the pub to relax and talk.<br /></p>The Allen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07164608221809233451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830888405806874100.post-74844540769864572322011-07-07T19:26:00.000-07:002011-07-07T19:26:00.421-07:00Day Three - BathThe second half of our day was concerned with the city of Bath, which was about 30 minutes southeast from Bristol. Our adventure here had nothing to do with Wesley per se, although he did preach there at least once. Bishop Fannin read for us an account from one of Wesley's journals about a confrontation that happened here <a href="http://www.imarc.cc/buletins/history2.html">between Wesley and a Mr. Nash while Wesley was preaching</a>. Mostly it was a cultural and historical stop – to tour the abbey, as well as its famous hot spring, over which the Romans built an entire complex of baths starting in 60AD.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MgR0MElvWVlzmRe-fS9hyphenhyphenCb86urj3ChGbOV9Gk2qPKZm0UxXmazcn0x1tWWUwct7DlVAyThjVDXUfg2AVmOV72SLji_wcS9blrl6dpF4-Hm_FRRFcMk1K3gEc_n9hYTn_SEuA-reVVI2/s1600/IMG_0187.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Later we gathered all together in the Charles Wellbeloved room to reflect on our day, led by Lisa. We headed back to the University Club about 8:30pm and watched the last few at bats of a cricket game going on outside in a steady drizzle. Then we headed out to the local crowded pub for drinks with the Degrenias and Opalinskis, where the men tried the ale on tap and the women tried "shandys" - ale mixed with Sprite - as we talked and visited. We had a wonderful time getting to know each other better.

Breakfast at 8am downstairs and the server graciously remembered our buffet orders from the day before. We met the Fannins and the bus driver outside along with a new guide for the day named Ross. It was another two hour drive to Bristol, this time headed southwest to the coast. It was beautiful countryside for much of the way and such a surprise to arrive in Bristol and get a feel for how large the city is. Bristol is a large seaport and in John Wesley's time was the second largest city in Britain, behind London. In many ways the architecture that we got to see was a blend of old and relatively new, with a lot of influence in the city centre seeming to date around 1950-1970. It also seemed to remind me of New York City in the early 1990s before the massive cleanup and image makeover. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> Bristol was an extremely important city in the ministries of the Wesley brothers. George Whitfield, one of the members of the Holy Club at Oxford, invited John Wesley to Bristol to preach to the miners outside the town. This was where Wesley got his first taste of open air preaching. Wesley made Bristol one of his bases of operation in England, establishing the New Room as a kind of meeting house and outreach center in 1739. He had it built with quarters on the top floor that served to house himself as well as Charles and other traveling preachers. Records show that Wesley spent 1,500 nights here, more than any other place in his ministry, even London.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">The New Room is now right in the heart of city shopping and you entered from the south side in between restaurants and on the north side next to a nail salon. On the south side, you enter through a garden past a statue of Wesley. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcCqYutwZffkKvVpMYOlID8C62y27rU0cD8VfE3vbxO8XPUWIvhALmhYSoY6nJn1kXwfRHPzrr1CaJn0Xid61wrmo-jy5w7Rzi-5qZnCRazV7v8To8KI6du7Wn1kmywh_gv0BklkMm4hLX/s1600/IMG_0120.JPG"><img style="display: block;

What a privilege to break bread and participate in the sacrament together, kneeling at the rail around the altar. What impressed us the most about Wesley's establishment of the New Room was that he intended for it to be a place of worship (but on Sunday evening, not in competition with morning Anglican services) as well as a place of community outreach. Within its walls, people were provided job training, educated for free, and provided basic medical care.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">We were on our own for lunch, but everyone ended up at the same restaurant next to the New Room, West Cornwall Pasty Company. It was delicious - a pasty is basically a pot roast with potatoes and carrots and onions wrapped in a thick pastry shell. </p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixepl6P5Wv-KxS6vMXo0n3hMEA0pWUzIYe-Hk02ORKDSlbRnW6hJzkGJpO0gB1-lkGh00pcLclstEhxh1rfaiq_Jg618v0y2Cck5V7f_ua8p6dlldSuBzaYdGYXHPtiNrHcfonquY-9vQe/s1600/Bristol+Lunch.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixepl6P5Wv-KxS6vMXo0n3hMEA0pWUzIYe-Hk02ORKDSlbRnW6hJzkGJpO0gB1-lkGh00pcLclstEhxh1rfaiq_Jg618v0y2Cck5V7f_ua8p6dlldSuBzaYdGYXHPtiNrHcfonquY-9vQe/s200/Bristol+Lunch.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625349054482898930" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_JagpoXSg-XLXImVk_tYqam9_LVEHnlFMtEOHwgbLLE8zSYrbGL8v4CRxAwQSOTM1RsGPh6ffFUV3YJo-B1HCPx0-GM249cOndwAn8_rMdv8SQdm0YTaaEcOAWvMPK7diFuEYvJs27xB_/s1600/DSC_0163.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_JagpoXSg-XLXImVk_tYqam9_LVEHnlFMtEOHwgbLLE8zSYrbGL8v4CRxAwQSOTM1RsGPh6ffFUV3YJo-B1HCPx0-GM249cOndwAn8_rMdv8SQdm0YTaaEcOAWvMPK7diFuEYvJs27xB_/s200/DSC_0163.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625349110077518354" border="0" /></a>The Allen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07164608221809233451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830888405806874100.post-80276916654233749842011-07-05T16:35:00.000-07:002011-07-05T16:35:00.439-07:00Day Two - EpworthBoy did our legs protest at getting up for day 2! But we got ready and were headed downstairs at 8:00am for breakfast. Our breakfast at the hotel was a buffet, but one that was served to us after request. We both had eggs and toast. Debbie also had a slice of bacon (that looked like a slab of ham) and half a cooked tomato; Daryl also had sausage. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7tTCAVs83g-P5HbQySIKTec5yG8U-5sD6po2uXcd-N-7aSP7mBAeWya4zUk36EhdL5gMUMt3iicgeZwwnvn6HjhWGfw7HwZw0FNz25Q-anYaORSOjW6qP_mYOg_DDwuZjIYlxTPUePn2w/s1600/DSC_0004.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7tTCAVs83g-P5HbQySIKTec5yG8U-5sD6po2uXcd-N-7aSP7mBAeWya4zUk36EhdL5gMUMt3iicgeZwwnvn6HjhWGfw7HwZw0FNz25Q-anYaORSOjW6qP_mYOg_DDwuZjIYlxTPUePn2w/s200/DSC_0004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624903206123674994" border="0" /></a>By 9:00am we were back on the bus headed to Epworth, where Wesley grew up. The trip took about four hours there with a break in the middle. At a couple of different points along the way we saw large windmills harnessing the power of the wind. So much green everywhere – can't help but wonder if that is because of all the rain and the large amount of sunlight. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqe_JMGGjZLhqFMoTI1MJdLmXxSYyglFcuZjSk-xqFaU5cNnNm64TCA6k22g_BaF5k4AoFodpg3mJ_9BkJ-A_uo39x-7wIvus5yJSNMB1vn7FU79G6rehxpb_m1rq8RNa2FAWID25py2oX/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqe_JMGGjZLhqFMoTI1MJdLmXxSYyglFcuZjSk-xqFaU5cNnNm64TCA6k22g_BaF5k4AoFodpg3mJ_9BkJ-A_uo39x-7wIvus5yJSNMB1vn7FU79G6rehxpb_m1rq8RNa2FAWID25py2oX/s200/DSC_0013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624903359152468914" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> At Epworth our journey began in the old rectory or parsonage where John Wesley grew up. Wesley's dad Samuel started as the pastor there in 1695 and John was born to the family in 1703. In 1709, the house burned to the ground and John almost died in the fire.....at the last moment before the roof collapsed some of the townspeople pulled him out of an upstairs window, “like a brand plucked from the burning,” his mother Susanna would say. The current house was the one rebuilt after the fire and cost 400 pounds then (a sum of about $650 American dollars now). It's a grand house built in Queen Anne style and definitely not in keeping with how everyone else in the town would have been living. Beyond the imposing foyer we were not allowed to take pictures in the house. The house was purchased years ago by the World Methodist Council and is in the process of being restored to the period time. There are only three authentic family pieces in the house – a large sideboard in the foyer, a grandfather clock in the dining room and Susanna Wesley's workbox in the bedroom. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCn5ekgh_7oaZTpWwILtIFxLVSV2CYQKMNiruDs_FSb_pmnz7Pdp75joaQ7TJfSSKCwZ8j5WG3Jyw0ego6UM7o_CWtf0wddUYu0JJUbi0nw8IPZNz0M-2ZHC-VIGoK7xHa3UuM12gbgd59/s1600/IMG_0061.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCn5ekgh_7oaZTpWwILtIFxLVSV2CYQKMNiruDs_FSb_pmnz7Pdp75joaQ7TJfSSKCwZ8j5WG3Jyw0ego6UM7o_CWtf0wddUYu0JJUbi0nw8IPZNz0M-2ZHC-VIGoK7xHa3UuM12gbgd59/s200/IMG_0061.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624907443243026914" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeuzUzs-COsLMqgmoq6iDyUN2zJ-F1GKcP9w1VskKMBSG71qPhR8z0oGZiWuFSm4wSUYhoat8vIM7ydlC1U-BQorfVd0RhKOANlhcotDJNMRveonkLVOtJjiIkWTwNWqI0QAzKfmoWRx24/s1600/IMG_0062.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeuzUzs-COsLMqgmoq6iDyUN2zJ-F1GKcP9w1VskKMBSG71qPhR8z0oGZiWuFSm4wSUYhoat8vIM7ydlC1U-BQorfVd0RhKOANlhcotDJNMRveonkLVOtJjiIkWTwNWqI0QAzKfmoWRx24/s200/IMG_0062.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624907452515393154" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjAt3bbbrbZIZJSnHWCY23r538cn8glbz80gUavshrh1cCJIciiQ6CKeUVsV4oo5VaXk_CZvHQSwuD0KAMnJ-wL8Iz6ZUcEjSmpSq8dhvXbY8BuKfSo_crNnxISBnzzjzwYtBtfr3ROJCw/s1600/IMG_0065.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjAt3bbbrbZIZJSnHWCY23r538cn8glbz80gUavshrh1cCJIciiQ6CKeUVsV4oo5VaXk_CZvHQSwuD0KAMnJ-wL8Iz6ZUcEjSmpSq8dhvXbY8BuKfSo_crNnxISBnzzjzwYtBtfr3ROJCw/s200/IMG_0065.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624907456083575826" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiT_OhR7uy1DD0aeS7p8kMqH011fp7Uj7n7vhZMWcgGPwUwoSP98sjcDQK-1gNaT5ZiJHYDTKIZOtqFJ2QyAj-Vm2qg89OAV1L8rMHN80DRoTL0STqTGAvi_0bGlkHaActLoOvV_0DfC5/s1600/IMG_0067.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOiT_OhR7uy1DD0aeS7p8kMqH011fp7Uj7n7vhZMWcgGPwUwoSP98sjcDQK-1gNaT5ZiJHYDTKIZOtqFJ2QyAj-Vm2qg89OAV1L8rMHN80DRoTL0STqTGAvi_0bGlkHaActLoOvV_0DfC5/s200/IMG_0067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624907461838532914" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrX0fJtIxDiRFW6feA7QOGdeLEw_C_0fGJ-Tqz-lGx8slTSFynfR0B1ORWkbOSdWboCLKA7ZybrSlBFUQBPPtXhkM7ihRR2_E_xwNnIt2fhNEbh6-6wk58Yr3KnIOqrWBfMZDxLz2CHxql/s1600/IMG_0070.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrX0fJtIxDiRFW6feA7QOGdeLEw_C_0fGJ-Tqz-lGx8slTSFynfR0B1ORWkbOSdWboCLKA7ZybrSlBFUQBPPtXhkM7ihRR2_E_xwNnIt2fhNEbh6-6wk58Yr3KnIOqrWBfMZDxLz2CHxql/s200/IMG_0070.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624907467042940098" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3w5P6edYCFlAfaiy3vKpD0ZoyL7A5-LUxBpju-oeN3GgVzvJAXe9_kxUaAtqvQsQ0WwsZqpoz5aSALkstlNF260YUs_G3Hj3dTLjM4Yo80dFvM3L-CNLCXDBfOOl-NJ92s7TYmuZIdUZ/s1600/IMG_0071.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3w5P6edYCFlAfaiy3vKpD0ZoyL7A5-LUxBpju-oeN3GgVzvJAXe9_kxUaAtqvQsQ0WwsZqpoz5aSALkstlNF260YUs_G3Hj3dTLjM4Yo80dFvM3L-CNLCXDBfOOl-NJ92s7TYmuZIdUZ/s200/IMG_0071.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624909349469023218" border="0" /></a><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Next we set off on a walking tour of the town.

The tour inside was very interesting as the church was built originially in the 1100s. We were able to see the baptismal font where the Wesley boys were baptized and also a chair inside of Samuel's donated by Susanna after his death in 1735.<br /></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmxwDrtjUEbcp8S6DMl_YvyvmEDrtwmtfjSLx6q54VVysck11eMQQUP3vvuTiaf97UHAUJ7inbVHyfB0L-5y-NF9_wOUY3Rl0DIlWOFL8Hzxtv0WoRQCxNJnH6BVxCte2a6GHyXu23bIDc/s1600/IMG_0080.JPG"><img style="display: block;

We closed our day with some time reflecting as a group in the “Charles Wellbeloved Room.” Bishop Fannin read from David DeSilva's book on “Praying with Wesley” - talked about mortification as self-denial and Wesley's call to this in his own life modeled in the Holy Club and in the Methodist movement. On our way out, the Bishop took us upstairs to spend some time touring the Manchester library which was quite interesting. We ended up back in our room about 9:30pm and spent some time writing out our experiences before retiring to bed. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw5LJuzk6dmdA44OeQHN4EuwtG9w-4SGLxWFo9jocfdwcfBeRNwyJOEF5Ypxou_WydFLEidtVIG8yCTQCp77MqDSPtsg-teFxUCxYBIYQOs46ydbX11NolrYlalFfk_VNLywoxZhw1lkfk/s1600/IMG_0115.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw5LJuzk6dmdA44OeQHN4EuwtG9w-4SGLxWFo9jocfdwcfBeRNwyJOEF5Ypxou_WydFLEidtVIG8yCTQCp77MqDSPtsg-teFxUCxYBIYQOs46ydbX11NolrYlalFfk_VNLywoxZhw1lkfk/s200/IMG_0115.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624929441142605698" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkxEeW9Sd-PdHdEehA486WMP2t8bEDwxrV9ko8u6TG18Mw_2b-Xije0b65BMwH7fQCDr8RhNdXCSX62Qx0m6osXUBSVWeBz0AvEXdlbaBtO82mXUFj3IS44WvxJCVw30eNlCF9Q-xcdMHO/s1600/IMG_0118.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkxEeW9Sd-PdHdEehA486WMP2t8bEDwxrV9ko8u6TG18Mw_2b-Xije0b65BMwH7fQCDr8RhNdXCSX62Qx0m6osXUBSVWeBz0AvEXdlbaBtO82mXUFj3IS44WvxJCVw30eNlCF9Q-xcdMHO/s200/IMG_0118.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624929450923834450" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2Mv9HGiHqZMpnXaPZw9WeIvuq4brgWPBZftx6KErwrTk-8PUNH_ky8-mfOay2cxfcOCX8wMxxI4pB0FoUfRMoIVA0cuSehoYFTFaBQnN_CVntVwR50mveT0i2-QDNPdz9zqXvKUpvVPR/s1600/IMG_0119.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH2Mv9HGiHqZMpnXaPZw9WeIvuq4brgWPBZftx6KErwrTk-8PUNH_ky8-mfOay2cxfcOCX8wMxxI4pB0FoUfRMoIVA0cuSehoYFTFaBQnN_CVntVwR50mveT0i2-QDNPdz9zqXvKUpvVPR/s200/IMG_0119.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624929456414118274" border="0" /></a></p>The Allen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07164608221809233451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830888405806874100.post-35596037579766578372011-07-01T19:00:00.000-07:002011-07-02T16:33:58.680-07:00USA to Oxford UniversityOur trip started on Tuesday morning the 21st. After dropping off Parker for camp at the YMCA in Brandon, Debbie's mom and Wesley drove us to the airport. We checked in quickly and spent some time hanging out by the windows in the main building next to the shuttle for terminal E, so Wesley could see the planes and also the monorail. Eventually we said goodbye and headed over. The line for security was quite long but moved smoothly and we got to our gate with plenty of time to spare. <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We met up with our traveling companions at the gate (left to right): Brett and Andra Opalinski, Elaine and Jim Thomas, Bishop Bob and Faye Fannin, and on the other side of us, Lisa and Ed Degrenia. We were fortunate to have some time to visit before boarding.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBcD5M5PtWu5QVcpvbHFTDG1SB2uUhJ_nrwQLNcgjZAWi8BYvtLts4V75cCHiazypWtYQjNAu12-ys6DigsoBbQkZZIKvOk6Pi-jBsx2lOHpKwdUtF-IRP4Ei58zjFWWK3a211PvUbqgi/s1600/DSC_0128.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBcD5M5PtWu5QVcpvbHFTDG1SB2uUhJ_nrwQLNcgjZAWi8BYvtLts4V75cCHiazypWtYQjNAu12-ys6DigsoBbQkZZIKvOk6Pi-jBsx2lOHpKwdUtF-IRP4Ei58zjFWWK3a211PvUbqgi/s200/DSC_0128.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624882248134170146" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The couples were somewhat spread out on that flight. Nothing remarkable as we headed to Atlanta. In Atlanta we went all the way from Terminal T to Terminal E and got lunch at the food court – Panda Express! Then we gathered at the gate again. We were accompanied by quite a large group of young people traveling with People to People. The flight did have moments of turbulence but, by and large it was a good flight, just long. We were served dinner (chicken with spinach and carrots) and breakfast the next morning (egg sandwich and fruit).<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We landed in London at Gatwick Airport about 8:00am London Time (3am USA). Customs was smooth and easy and thankfully everyone's luggage arrived as well. We were met by an Educational Opportunities (EO) representative who made sure that we found our bus and driver Darrin. He was a bit late and we were a bit early so we waited outside until we met up. Darrin is very outgoing and friendly - he owns his own transport business and this was his first contract with EO for a tour of this nature. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_7qlnDyqf6oU2iKAL87JP_5wq8qKSd4W-POWl6gaQYtWre-4biThIJ57qeNugCuht4_sYIbU1wjA0mX09vvjCx0hULx9R2X77K1azfMJah3lBIacxkgZf8LUQ0eJ5-5uIuB7K25JKdJV/s1600/DSC_0005.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_7qlnDyqf6oU2iKAL87JP_5wq8qKSd4W-POWl6gaQYtWre-4biThIJ57qeNugCuht4_sYIbU1wjA0mX09vvjCx0hULx9R2X77K1azfMJah3lBIacxkgZf8LUQ0eJ5-5uIuB7K25JKdJV/s200/DSC_0005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624883510695629938" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We had another companion on our trip as well - a John Wesley doll, compliments of the Thomases.

Oxford is northwest of London. The first hour or so was mainly major interstate – the second hour we were able to see more of the beautiful green countryside and a lot of sheep and cows on farms. When we arrived in Oxford at the University Club for our accomodations, the rooms were not quite ready. The Fannins were staying at Harris Manchester College in the dorms, so they went to check in and the rest of us set off on our own walking tour of the town. We encountered the famous bookshop Blackwell's which has over five floors of books (and that's just one of three stores they have in Oxford!). We also managed to find the library, an ATM, a pedestrian shopping area, and the mall. And we began to experience our first taste of English weather which changes its mind quite often. One of our tour guides even mentioned that it's not unusual to experience all four seasons in one day. We got hit with an afternoon shower at one point and layered on and off the jackets repeatedly. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKwWyCuJ8HRIqcEw5VmBwO1rNxxYdooKqiizVX2XCXluo18xHxXOszyoKDFXlbyFFbdmBhtpoIusRPHGJQmj0i9AN9oxtog_VtbMCE-oS6wv4mn82qpLguMEMCaYotl6LAzT7lAVJwJy1w/s1600/IMG_0010.JPG"><img style="display: block;

The basement houses locker rooms for the cricket club. The first floor here is all reception and dining areas. The second floor is all meeting space. The third floor houses the guest rooms – just fourteen all along the backside of the inn with a view of the green space behind. We were in room 12. Inside, the rooms were sparsely furnished but very pleasant and quite sufficient for our needs. No air conditioning but with the windows cracked open we had plenty of circulating air.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTw1M9P_YRcZdKhjIIwrcm_sEHhd3xmoEe-jAFVorxEeDVg_lNk_MPbZJhhiccrRDLfz9u09cd6r_KYMjnUEFLf9cG8E6Kipe7Jd0etGGWMR4PHdLW8LV8ovz4EjnACtscGLCSCmsMObq/s1600/IMG_0004.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOTw1M9P_YRcZdKhjIIwrcm_sEHhd3xmoEe-jAFVorxEeDVg_lNk_MPbZJhhiccrRDLfz9u09cd6r_KYMjnUEFLf9cG8E6Kipe7Jd0etGGWMR4PHdLW8LV8ovz4EjnACtscGLCSCmsMObq/s200/IMG_0004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624884279496228626" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Zj7l6LKLKBwUpQgHx5q2eBLr7DYglUJEoEpshkzQ82CTJTOoQUIUUHRxCIeZb1f2fJTYWswHyrDRXc-oTyE4JLEKPPhMM2s0BcrjCsGtj_ekOVfBXBksXLS-SyAccFK6LPaQl16SZaLL/s1600/IMG_0031.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Zj7l6LKLKBwUpQgHx5q2eBLr7DYglUJEoEpshkzQ82CTJTOoQUIUUHRxCIeZb1f2fJTYWswHyrDRXc-oTyE4JLEKPPhMM2s0BcrjCsGtj_ekOVfBXBksXLS-SyAccFK6LPaQl16SZaLL/s200/IMG_0031.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624884777105325842" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgCWUnSWFj6biIz4XEOrqgw8H4xtrRH0J8tQ4rxtD9gUyXK5v5RPleTHsDYPdfNidWKGkQ0BxwkDlqKG-jkyREouOq_hYojUZ9aO5GDSOKtzHwwZcQ3KdIhobwUp-K0Y1F9PTZhHjMgSDS/s1600/IMG_0033.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgCWUnSWFj6biIz4XEOrqgw8H4xtrRH0J8tQ4rxtD9gUyXK5v5RPleTHsDYPdfNidWKGkQ0BxwkDlqKG-jkyREouOq_hYojUZ9aO5GDSOKtzHwwZcQ3KdIhobwUp-K0Y1F9PTZhHjMgSDS/s200/IMG_0033.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624885028188734466" border="0" /></a>Then it was back downstairs to walk around a bit with the Fannins. <span style="font-weight: normal;">We walked through the courtyard of the library, a building we had encountered earlier but weren't sure about. And learned more about where we were and the culture. Oxford University received its charter from the government in 1214, meaning that higher education has been ongoing here for almost 800 years. It has 38 different colleges that make up the university. Harris Manchester is the smallest (about 75 students) and was only admitted as part of Oxford back in 1996.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfUdGotevxIK5Se4pnxNF_K6KBQMA7YLfXKtnR5Sd04gftDd0E1jnGnnNuV7PAZCVX4NO3lwKIV3PmEwgY2F7GTOtUAnv3cn2C6VfDNY3ZXlry9aRSt1V4L9usEh6vN-y4GRmpfz3ULsN/s1600/IMG_0020.JPG"><img style="display: block;

Wednesday was the last day of the official semester and we noticed the students dressed up in their uniforms and gowns with flowers pinned to their gowns. They wear the uniforms on exam days because if “they dress smartly they will test smartly.” Over several days they take 9 different three hour examinations. On the first day they wear a white carnation. On the middle days they wear a pink carnation. And on their final day of exams they wear a red carnation. </span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XRQGwrOHypRrIOSkcV_0RN52XjqCXoRPv1vHvReG61jBLu_JSjHB5Dh4hCrWspcgEh6NzkvbcVzuuOfeVhbOSKA2ntwujZB4ooaNjQ-5ZL526JfOOfPowOBF48sg6m1VVKkAIMxmjO_A/s1600/DSC_0238.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XRQGwrOHypRrIOSkcV_0RN52XjqCXoRPv1vHvReG61jBLu_JSjHB5Dh4hCrWspcgEh6NzkvbcVzuuOfeVhbOSKA2ntwujZB4ooaNjQ-5ZL526JfOOfPowOBF48sg6m1VVKkAIMxmjO_A/s200/DSC_0238.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624897949183352146" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;">We stopped for lunch at a great little cafe called Puccino's.

At this point it seemed like walking around the set of a Hugh Grant movie. Women and men were dressed in all manner of attire from the very formal to the casual. There was an ice cream man in costume scooping up treats from a freezer on the back of a bicycle. There was a wonderful jazz band playing and several tents set up with really great food – sandwiches, petit fours (desserts), candy bar, and drinks. When one of our group asked the steward of the college what was in the drink, he replied “it's slightly alcoholic but lovely!” About halfway through the party, there was a speech from the president of Manchester college mentioning the two retiring faculty and staff as well as honoring the gardener for her lovely work in keeping up the grounds. We took some time to explore around the garden and also the chapel and its windows.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMoO09rALzicT6SMYYK_mxZjy50DWe3Un7M134bB7sHk1c4-Rlp2D65LBIo6B08YBpRDnBZ9VuxeBiwU0oZZu7RmFVTAKR5nmJPjSNgdtZlTjTEpCamAdqD9NoTENjSQ7ENK3YVMkmkdvR/s1600/IMG_0036.JPG"><img style="display: block;

So we were given access to the balcony so that we could hear the choir the choral call to dinner. Then we left and the Fannins led us into town for dinner. Along the way, scores of young men walked by us in the opposite direction carrying a lot of beer to celebrate the end of term. We stopped at the Copa for dinner where we had a wonderful meal of fish and chips, which also came with mushy peas. Very delicious! Ours did not come in the traditional newspaper, which we thought was due to the type of restaurant we were in. But Bishop Fannin let us know that the newspaper had been outlawed several years before because of health reasons.<br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotHfTVt_14nlzS63bJG9uh6LrimlUBexobQOLkEXnSXqT1Tpr4LyVX8ZeUvdpaSJ5UxfHBdVOrmor8xblgEapRSnFNPQ25Y60pi9N1Cqndl45vQe1BltuJmYQ1E_mUP1YD_VucUrtwOz1/s1600/IMG_0049.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotHfTVt_14nlzS63bJG9uh6LrimlUBexobQOLkEXnSXqT1Tpr4LyVX8ZeUvdpaSJ5UxfHBdVOrmor8xblgEapRSnFNPQ25Y60pi9N1Cqndl45vQe1BltuJmYQ1E_mUP1YD_VucUrtwOz1/s200/IMG_0049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624897066368186258" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kAZhsOkSJKz9E3PwoKBAD8uc0YVeDI734xb0B9HF3m-U2vMRyWGn3yNEp-Ot1J1lWpJb6S3-Iq1OCOi1rJ3GXMYFXmsirri9yslswW8EOoZXn2cVbF9sVZG8UfeeyrZz314_texWi6HP/s1600/DSC_0243.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kAZhsOkSJKz9E3PwoKBAD8uc0YVeDI734xb0B9HF3m-U2vMRyWGn3yNEp-Ot1J1lWpJb6S3-Iq1OCOi1rJ3GXMYFXmsirri9yslswW8EOoZXn2cVbF9sVZG8UfeeyrZz314_texWi6HP/s200/DSC_0243.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624897950985526962" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We stretched our legs some more after dinner, walking down to Christ Church and the gardens. Although we could not get in, we still got some lovely pictures. Across the street from Christ Church was a shop about Alice in Wonderland - the author, Lewis Carroll, was a student at Oxford and wrote the book about the dean's daughter, Alice. It was really lovely to walk through the town - we got such a sense of history and permanence, even with the new mixed into the old. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixztHEEG69nGB0KFYdbboXdPlzfXxLtvnNDzpB3bNyhWi-23efqBa-UN41GW4t3k4KCWtLD7byTJRAkvdcu1vU_xXCKEDFawjTey9tff0QMEhDBcYMeHw1jUpKMNzCvGwNPnYeDMem4suV/s1600/IMG_0051.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixztHEEG69nGB0KFYdbboXdPlzfXxLtvnNDzpB3bNyhWi-23efqBa-UN41GW4t3k4KCWtLD7byTJRAkvdcu1vU_xXCKEDFawjTey9tff0QMEhDBcYMeHw1jUpKMNzCvGwNPnYeDMem4suV/s200/IMG_0051.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624890082333179922" border="0" /></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Yo7tOv8Zx4CeB2Abw0xSZ4JS4sxmz0G0P5jbDLmspf46byM5v6ngCmpy1-hCzC4kXn5UM0yBtxqfnf3r5XWdDc8DHlP1tWs9_CH_o8yywHmNAozUv2B-FFhYpEpbLH35qYUYZLvfMG6H/s1600/IMG_0052.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Yo7tOv8Zx4CeB2Abw0xSZ4JS4sxmz0G0P5jbDLmspf46byM5v6ngCmpy1-hCzC4kXn5UM0yBtxqfnf3r5XWdDc8DHlP1tWs9_CH_o8yywHmNAozUv2B-FFhYpEpbLH35qYUYZLvfMG6H/s200/IMG_0052.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624890849502034002" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvnOUKFnsxGsYg_jT-7wI7-ntvq0amkJIqe0yFtQAyBolM4vNuIooj8i38zJzdcoxjALD5biEiaL7wMgeTIAqmxZB02PEGqaLpF9VjpN66lDdRwwSR0h2nCbI2dnae_gyH32w2CKXS9iz/s1600/IMG_0053.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvnOUKFnsxGsYg_jT-7wI7-ntvq0amkJIqe0yFtQAyBolM4vNuIooj8i38zJzdcoxjALD5biEiaL7wMgeTIAqmxZB02PEGqaLpF9VjpN66lDdRwwSR0h2nCbI2dnae_gyH32w2CKXS9iz/s200/IMG_0053.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624889518477840514" border="0" /></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVtJyBWsN1IZNHpUmQoYdNBYSrDPrxhw0QKB0HK75yJ4UfHn_BMJlISUiE0IInkfq9wCnDkjMbzq2GnhldEYo_vcGXCmN_dT_t3urYbe_fTsQgrvwkokyaFzUmFD0bZhqvULxAD2Z3ZdhL/s1600/IMG_0057.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVtJyBWsN1IZNHpUmQoYdNBYSrDPrxhw0QKB0HK75yJ4UfHn_BMJlISUiE0IInkfq9wCnDkjMbzq2GnhldEYo_vcGXCmN_dT_t3urYbe_fTsQgrvwkokyaFzUmFD0bZhqvULxAD2Z3ZdhL/s200/IMG_0057.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624891381279375650" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgESEnrISxTz6TMkOgkQGApXRm7Hix2bEzks-hnYtWWLCuAtafIO1ECrsWFDUth3XEveJf7ptKOnFsOgqvwGsnF7YvmrLCoQHUy_KVVoSGDF8J8XvNIs_0NUWgu8Y9Y1euSI7zeKeyZRrZD/s1600/IMG_0055.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgESEnrISxTz6TMkOgkQGApXRm7Hix2bEzks-hnYtWWLCuAtafIO1ECrsWFDUth3XEveJf7ptKOnFsOgqvwGsnF7YvmrLCoQHUy_KVVoSGDF8J8XvNIs_0NUWgu8Y9Y1euSI7zeKeyZRrZD/s200/IMG_0055.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624891093623280850" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPduuDMtprGURJtB7cHheS9dJ0zAHgZQOlzYmxvscv00h2_1Qgocg_280tbykVBdJ1FeECH21qSXtBjCV565HfEzbPtz-en7actvYbhbi8zGhmFRTPlH1suFTlaCHHR9JtH50fb9Zx1Pqt/s1600/IMG_0058.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPduuDMtprGURJtB7cHheS9dJ0zAHgZQOlzYmxvscv00h2_1Qgocg_280tbykVBdJ1FeECH21qSXtBjCV565HfEzbPtz-en7actvYbhbi8zGhmFRTPlH1suFTlaCHHR9JtH50fb9Zx1Pqt/s200/IMG_0058.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624891561228485810" border="0" /></a></p>By the time we got back to our room from exploring it was still light outside even though it was 9pm. We discovered that the sun does not go down here until about 10pm. We fell asleep so quickly that we forgot to shut the blinds. We woke up at 4:30 to the sunlight streaming into our room! Fortunately we were able to go back to sleep for a while until 7am.The Allen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07164608221809233451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830888405806874100.post-26336872851045198452011-06-14T19:58:00.000-07:002011-06-14T20:20:58.125-07:00Getting ReadyWhile we were at Annual Conference, we had a breakfast meeting with our trip leader Bishop Fannin and his wife Faye. The Fannins seemed very warm and friendly, and were so understanding about our need to bring the boys with us to breakfast. We also got to meet the other clergy who will be traveling with us: Jim Thomas who serves as the pastor of East Naples UMC; Brett Opalinski who serves as the pastor of Memorial UMC in Fernandina Beach, and Debbie's good friend Lisa Degrenia who serves as the pastor of Community UMC in Debary.<br /><br />There were a few other clergy at the breakfast who had all either been on the trip or led the trip in previous years. These folks now serve as trustees with Bishop Fannin of the Simpkins Endowment that provides the trip and were the ones who reviewed the applications and selected those of us who will be attending. They helped share some details about their experiences and along with Bishop Fannin, answered questions about what to expect.<br /><br />We received all of our travel documents while we were at the breakfast, including our airline tickets, nametags and luggage tags. We found out that this trip is arranged through <a href="http://www.eo.travelwithus.com/">EO</a>, which is the group we traveled through when we were in Egypt, Jordan and Israel in 2009. The Fannins had actually just returned from a trip to England themselves, finalizing all of our arrangements and itinerary. Another really interesting thing in our packet was a <a href="http://www.londonpass.com/">London Pass</a>. It's a card that gets you into a ton of different museums and things to see while in London and comes with an accompanying subway card good for the days of our travel. We used the New York Pass when we traveled there as a couple back in 2003. It was fairly new then but we were so pleasantly surprised - what a wonderful deal it turned out to be. We have already spent some time looking through the book that comes with the card and trying to plan what we will see on our "free time" in London.<br /><br />The excitement is building - just one week to go!The Allen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07164608221809233451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830888405806874100.post-74245645984751280632011-01-30T17:23:00.000-08:002011-01-30T19:33:57.006-08:00Our ItineraryThis weekend we received some information in the mail regarding our upcoming trip to England - a letter of introduction from our leader Bishop Fannin, the itinerary for each day of our trip as well as a book to read about Wesley's life written by Ralph Waller, one of the Oxford scholars we will be meeting with.
