A big weekend - adventure out of London..part 1

This was really an adventurous weekend. Helene and Nick, the couple from Wisconsin living and working in England, came down with their college group on Friday. I joined them at The History Boys. A really marvelous play and production.

I took the bus back with them and the college group. We arrived at Harlaxton, the University of Evanston (Illinois) former manor house outside of Grantham, north of London. We arrived at 2AM.

Harlaxton is quite the building and complex. I stayed in room 327 right next door to Helene and Nick's spacious end-of-hall room. It was a bit chilly but the bed was very comfortable and it took no time to fall asleep.

Nick gave me a tour of the estate Saturday morning. The following pictures are from various parts of the interiors.
