Week 1 – La Crosse WI to Bath UK

We take the train to Chicago, find our plane to the other side of the ocean, and spend a few days in London recovering from jet lag and adjusting to life overseas before getting on a train to Bath.

Getting underway from our home in La Crosse, and discovering a different mood in Chicago weeks after 9/11
After a night's rest in Chicago, we make our way to the airport and start crossing the ocean.
Our plane lands on the "other side of the pond", and we get our first taste of London.
Having heard tales of the Hyde Park "Speakers Corner", we went to check it out.
Walking in the Beatles' footsteps at Abbey Road, a ride on the London Eye with our own personal "guide," and visiting the outsides of the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey.
A day of rest before taking a train out of London.
