On May 8, 1998, we left Washington, DC for London, England! Julie stayed in Great Britain until May 26, and kept a journal faithfully every day. This web site is a transcription of that journal, supported with photos and links. If you are interested in the sights and society of Great Britain, especially from a tourist perspective, then you may find these pages interesting. Enjoy!

Other Information
For more information about tourism in the UK, please click on the Union Jack at the top of each page. Almost every page has a different Great Britain travel link.All of the photographs that appear on these pages were taken by Julie except for the ones in which she appears. Her camera is a Pentax K1000 with to 50mm Pentax lens.
We've tried to set up links to most of the historical sites, cities, and attractions we visited. If you see the same thing as a link more than once on a page, that's because there are several good links for it.
The map below shows a rough depiction of where we traveled on the island:
