Sunday was pretty much all a travel day. We woke up, ate breakfast, and were on the road by 9 am. We stopped again at the Scotland/England border for photos and then trekked on to Hadrian's Wall. Hadrian's Wall was built during the Roman conquest of England to mark and divide the border between England and Scotland. It was to keep out the "barbarians". We also got to check out the remains of an ancient fort that was built there as well by the Romans. It was beautiful here because we were literally just in the middle of the countryside. They even had sheep grazing out around the property. The sky was big, the grass was the greenest of green, and the sun shone through the clouds like light from the heavens. Truly a breathtaking sight! We loaded the coach once again and stopped for the final break at Durham. Durham is a town in England and we had a short break for lunch before we loaded up and drove the final 3 hours back to the manor. It was nice to be back! I was so tired of traveling on the coach (I compared it to the pilgrims riding the Mayflower). Back just in time to get a good night's rest and prepare for another week of classes.
