Dover

 

 

 

 

We went to Dover this past weekend to see the castle and the cliffs. We were all sick, so it could have been a little bit more pleasant--but it was still a great trip. Dover's about 2 hours from where we live on the coast of the English Channel. It's where the Chunnel begins.

 

 

Dover Castle

Judah and me--freezing our buns off at the entrance to the castle.

 

City of Dover from the view of the Castle. That's the English Channel. 

Chapel on the grounds of the castle. It still holds services for local military (Royal Navy Fleet is stationed here on the grounds as well.)

Glory

Blaise and Jim at the very top of the tower.

Catapult

 

Blaise using his replica of a broadsword as a spade. 

White Cliffs of Dover--Jim was actually the only one who saw this in person from this view. The rest of us were coughing up lungs in the car by that time.

Lighthouse from 1 A.D. That's no misprint. The first century.

A. MA.ZING. Look at the crazy people on the edge there. No fence.
