The Quest to Find Avalon <3

 

 

The huge pile of rocks called Stonehenge… Surrounded by LOTS of sheep. Haha :)

The girls at Stonehenge on a GORGEOUS day!

We found a road-side Farmer’s stand… Yet again I find myself with a lap full of fresh strawberries on a jaunt across Europe (the last time being in Paris) :)

Lizzi was in heaven in Glastonbury’s city centre… Shops and shops of magical, mystical fun! :)

 

And I was in heaven at Glastonbury Abbey (just next door)… With ruins and ruins of history and King Arthur myths… Haha :)

     

Later that afternoon we headed to Glastonbury Tor, the rumored site of the mythical entrance to Avalon. Lizzi and I spent the majority of the time looking out for fairies and preparing for a spiritual experience… But alas we got nothing other than a little winded.

Okay, I lied. We were a lot winded… But in our defense it was a legitimately BIG hill/mountain… :) Too many steps to count!

Only halfway up!

And we thought we’d lost her there for a minute…

And finally at the TOP!

Gorgeous view of Somerset from atop the Glastonbury Tor! 

But it was a wee-bit windy and very chilly! Haha :)

After our jaunt across Somerset we headed to the coast for a dinner of fish n’ chips at the pier, and to watch the sun set across the Atlantic Ocean. And yet again, I met one of my goals for England: to step foot in this side of the Atlantic! :)

With Love from Somerset… <3 Mary Elizabeth
