Salisbury Cathedral

This is a picture of a moose with dwarf in front of the tower of Salisbury Cathedral in Salisbury. Salisbury is one of the closer cities to Stonehenge and we were brought here because the spire on this cathedral is the tallest in the UK. It's not as imposing as the Ely cathedral towers but that's because this church isn't as big overall as Ely. The tower actually wasn't really impressing anyone until we were told it was the tallest in the country.

The trip that we took - with TOPDECK tour groups, which by the way is top notch and very good - consisted only of teachers working for or in association with ITN. Of the 32-odd teachers at least 10 were Canadian. Of the Canadians there were 6 or so from Vancouver. And four or five that took the UBC program during the same time I did. (I recognized them but they were in other cohorts.) The moose is from a woman from our graduating year. She carries a moose and includes it with her in all of her pictures. Coincidentally, I take a dwarf with me and include it in all of my pictures. So, we put them together. Voila, the two toy travelling companions.
