"This photo was taken on my first trip to England. Figuring it might be my first and only one, I tried to cram in as much as possible into two weeks. After flying into London, we began in Colchester at the home of a pen-pal friend I'd had for over 40 years. He and his wife hosted us for two days and took us to Lavenham, Aldeburgh, and Minsmere nature reserve. Next we rented a car and headed for York, arriving at the end of the day just in time to walk The Wall and tour York Minster. This picture is from that day! I took nearly 2,000 photos and we drove over 1,800 miles, but it was well worth it. The trip was a fabulous overview of Britain and convinced me that I must go back."
