vacation day eight

Tuesday, August 9

in which we wandered around the St. Nicholas Market, ate at "Bristol's Oldest Coffee House," went on a cathedral tour (the Bristol Cathedral is as good as any in the UK, just ask our guide!), hung out with a college friend whose daughter sings in the choir with Greg, heard the choir sing Evensong, and had dinner at another pub. 

oh and not once but twice ran across the surname Dulay, which is unusual! Maybe something to do with trade and India?
I love love love the second window from the left, in which a young John the baptist, clearly identifiable by his toddler-sized camel hair garments (gotta start 'em young!), hands baby Jesus an apple
beautiful walls in the Chapter House, where the choir practiced
some of the stained glass windows that were blown out during World War II were put back together collage-style, which is just such an awesome metaphor for loss and resurrection...there's a better picture of this coming I think
