Arriving in Engand

After a two hour flight from Toulouse to London Heathrow, we drove down to Devon, staying in a lovely thatched cottage bordering Dartmoor.  The first day, we toured the moors, stopping for lunch in a pub in Chagford.  This town had special meaning for us as good friends were married in this village church and had their reception in the same pub.

A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.

Sunday: A Day of Rest

 Today we took it a little easier, enjoying a wonderful buffet breakfast at our hotel before heading out to Cubbon Park which was created in 1870.  In the park and surrounding it, there were a number of buildings from the colonial days, now being swallowed up by the modern city.  We walked about thirty minutes from our hotel to the park (not a small feat given the traffic and lack of functioning pedestrian crossing lights) and then had a leisurely stroll through the gardens.  Many Bengalureans were doing the same. We also visited an Indian crafts shop on the way to the gardens.   The final photo is from our hotel room.
