Mom and Aunt Di recently came to visit me in merry ole England and we did our own little adventure around Great Britain, hitting Oxford, Stonehenge and Salisbury, Dublin, Edinburgh and finally, London!  It was a whirlwind 7 days of travel, but very fun and full of fairly decent weather!  True, Dublin was a bit rainy and windy and Edinburgh had its random rain shower, but all in all, not bad for the region!  It was a bit different traveling with mom and aunt di, seeing as I'm quite used to staying hostels... what are these things called hotels and bed and breakfasts?!  Shocking!  Anyhow, after becoming accustomed to those things (and very welcome amenities),  we became savvy in our traveling and managed to cover a lot of ground in a very short amount of time!

Here are some pictures of the journey!
