Lake District

Happy Halloween! In honor of fall, I thought I'd post the pictures from our trip to the Lake District in Cumbria, the colors of the trees were amazing! We rented a car this time as the train doesn't really run to the lakes which was a bit exciting. Danielle did all the driving since she learned on the left in Trinidad, but we were both a little too used to the wide lanes of US suburbs ... some of the country roads were tiny, and two cars could only just squeeze by between the dry stone walls on both sides! Fortunately our rental was a tiny little car and most other cars on the road were small too, don't know what would have happened if we'd encountered an Escalade out there. This was also our first English B&B experience and Armidale Cottages was truly lovely, we felt more like guests at someone's house.

I tried to mention lake and town names throughout the slideshow in case you wanted to follow along on a map and see where these places are. Enjoy!
