EnGLaND: mY trAVeL jouRNaL

I've made three trips to England--mainly to London. But have seen Stonehenge, Salisbury, Portsmouth and Windsor & Windsor Castle. In 2019, Mike was with me--it was part of a 75th D-Day Anniversary tour that included Normandy & Paris. That made it more special--sharing these places with him. Hope to one day see more of England--especially Cornwall, the Cotswolds, and Yorkshire.
