And Traveling the World
After a great day of traveling to Stonehenge and Durdle Door, my three-day tour of southwest England continued with a stop in Exeter. The city is known for its Gothic cathedral, Roman history, and university, and I had two nights to explore the highlights.
If someone asked you to choose a tour of any region of England, which one would you pick? That question was recently posed to me, and in selecting an area to visit, I came across an itinerary that included a destination called Durdle Door in Dorset. It sounded like something straight out of Alice in Wonderland. I had to go. Here’s my Durdle Door travel guide.
What do you think of Stonehenge: magical, or just a bunch of rocks? I always thought of the place as magical, as evidenced by my thoughts on my first trip to Stonehenge years ago. But when I went back last weekend, I wondered whether the legendary circles of sarsen stones would awe me as much the second time as they had the first.
There are few better ways to spend a weekday afternoon than eating Pierre Herme macarons. One of them is to eat said macarons with Pierre Herme in London. I had the opportunity to do so yesterday, and I spent a while with the famous French pastry chef while sampling his new limited-edition macaron collection. Yum.
