It was very hard getting up this morning, but it was well worth it. This morning we saw Conventry Cathedral which was pretty neat. The older Cathedral was bombed in WWII but much of it still remained. It was sad seeing the damage a war can do, but learning about its history was interesting. We later took a tour of the newer cathedral and it's architecture and stain-glassed windows were stunning. The pattern of the glass made a bright light shine through the center of the church. Another impressive feature was the tapestry in the back end of the church. The tapestry was the size of a tennis court and had Jesus in the center. Coventry was a bit more modern than the other places we've seen. Later on, we went to Warwick Castle. I was amazed by how big it was and how the town just formed around it. We had a great time walking up the narrow staircases and reaching the top of each tower. The views from the top were beautiful and we could see a great distance. These views looked like something out of a dream, everything was so green and perfect. It reminded me of the England magazines my mom has around the house. We took a lot of pictures of the landscape and towers. Tonight we are eating at the Dirty Duck Pub, which we all are looking forward to.
