Chester, Cheshire

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.

`I don't much care where--' said Alice.

`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

`--so long as I get SOMEWHERE,' Alice added as an explanation.

`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk long enough.'"

 
We spent Wednesday exploring Chester -- a city with a street scene that really comes alive with Christmas shoppers:

The buildings are an ecclectic mix from many periods -- Georgian & even Roman!  It is also a walled city -- this is as far into England as the Romans cared to come.


And we did NOT forget the funny phone booth photo:


The Chester Cathedral is the single most imposing structure in this amazing conglomeration of architectural interest -- and it consumes several city blocks:





And Thursday we took a good, old-fashioned "snow day" and laid around all day in preparation for laying around tomorrow when we wait & wait & wait on our ten hour flight back to Atlanta & beyond!
