General Update

I realized it has been nearly a week since my last posting. The days have been quite full, not excessively busy, but full for sure. This is a brief update on the plan for the week. We are currently staying in Wales in a B & B. The drive in was beautiful! The terrain reminds me a lot of Kentucky near where Rachel and I lived the first three years of our marriage. Complete with rolling hills turning gradually into mountains. We visited a couple medieval churches along the way. You know a church is old when the newer grave markers are dated from the 1600's. One town had a market with buildings nearly 1000 years old (yes, that is the proper number of zeros).

This week we will spend the next couple days touring Wales, then work our way back visiting some of the sites of Methodism, including a cottage where John Wesley stayed and the oldest Methodist meeting house in the world, established by Wesley and built in 1739. We also plan to visit Bath, an old Roman resort dating back to 43 A.D. (no, I did not miss any zeroes). Next weekend, we will stay with my Uncle and Aunt, making the trip into London to catch the site of Wesley's house where he died (death bed still preserved) and chapel where he preached regularly. There is also a museum attached to these two buildings.

It will be a full week to be sure. Hopefully, I will be able to update the blog as we go, but I am not certain of our email access after tomorrow.
