Lunch and Snack in England

The cows return to England for a look at the past and a taste of the future.

	Aboard the ferry Ulysses from Dublin to Holyhead, the cows take in the amenities of the worlds largest passenger ferry.
	"Ahhh... what a wonderful way to view the Welsh countryside!" Lunch and Snack take a series of trains from the tip of Wales to Bath in the south of England.
	When the cows arrive in Bath, they discover that the entire city is considered to be a UNESCO world heritage site. An emblem declaring its status is embedded right in a cobblestone street.
	And what a place to start. Lunch and Snack look up at Bath Abbey, one of the last great gothic churches in England dating back to 1499.
	"So this is what it's all about Lunch." The cows pay a visit to the world famous Stonehenge site near Salisbury. The conglomeration of Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites has its own world heritage designation.
	The cows were able to escape Stonehenge before the tour buses from London arrived.
	On the way back to Bath, Lunch and Snack stop in Lacock, a preserved Cotswold village in the Wiltshire countryside.
	"Hmmm.... do we look statuesque?" The cows take a tour of the Roman baths that gave Bath its name.
	With a natural hot spring to feed it, the main pool of the Roman baths attracts thousands and thousands of visitors. The first shrine at the site was built in the First Century BCE, but the site received extensive development during the subsequent Roman occupation of Britain.
	Lunch and Snack receive the attention of a Roman foot soldier guarding the baths. Actually an actor in period costume gives visitors a historic perspective of the baths' significance.
	Of course, no visit to the Roman baths would be complete without a sample of the water. A modern restaurant overlooking the baths provides a convenient place for a taste.
	The cows pay a visit to Kensington Palace in London, the traditional home of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Lunch and Snack discover a makeshift shrine at the palace gate assembled to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana.
	Keith waits for a train at one of the stations of the London Underground. What a great way to get around.
	Lunch and Snack look up at the ceiling of the central court of the British Museum. More than 13 million objects make up the museum's vast collection of art and artifacts.
	The Rosetta Stone was one of the highlights of the cows' visit to the British Museum.
	The cows look over a directory of the British Library in London. A copy of every book published in England is sent here, and the library houses a copy of the Magna Carta, along with other priceless manuscripts.
	The Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster glows in the night during the cows' last night in London.
	With their European adventure at an end, the cows look out from their plane back to Seattle with the memories of a bovine lifetime.
