I'm alive! And Canterbury and Blenhiem Palace

I'm alive! Really and truly. I know it's been awhile since you've had an update, but here's one for you. Right now.

Holy history Batman! We went to Canterbury and Blenheim Palace. Not all in one day mind you. That would be a little crazy. Anyway.
Canterbury was supercoolandstuff. It is OLD. And very very interesting. Birthplace of Christopher Marlowe, early Saxon ruins, ancient pilgrimage sight (Oh hey Chaucer), medieval city wall still in tact all the way around (almost), AND I found a really great bookshop :). It was an great place to visit. I wish I could remember more, but it was almost three weeks ago. Sorry 'bout that...

The weekend after, we went to Blenheim Palace. Which is a Palace. In Blenheim. Crazy, no? Anyway, it's mostly famous for being Winston Churchill's birthplace and sort of kind of family home. It was built for the general who won the Battle of Blenheim during the War of the Spanish Succession on the sight of his victory. It is extremely opulent, the library and gardens especially. Can you imagine if this was your private library?

I mean...there's an organ. In the library. And you can't even see the side galleries or bay windows. It's one impressive library.
It's usually used for weddings now.
