We went to Canterbury today. It was a few train changes. Once there, we bought tour tickets for the tour bus. It was a hop on and off wherever tour. We also bought tickets for Canterbury Tales (which was good!). We also visited the Canterbury Cathedral. I love these places. I know you can worship God anywhere but I think cathedrals are so cool.

Canterbury is divided into “Quarters”. We visited the northern quarter. It included “downtown”. I liked the shops and watching the people (there were lots of people). We also found the “crooked red door”. The whole area was “tipping” from ground movement. People used to come to see the buildings. The city came in and fixed them. One business owner did not want them to fix it. But, the city insisted it would only get worse. So they let the owner keep the door frame and door at the angle it had been. So, you can see how the whole street had been. The door is painted red and people come just to see the “crooked red door”. It looked funny.

Trista had been to Canterbury in warmer weather and recommends the walking tour. She was able to see many things and learn a lot about the city and history. We needed more time but had only planned one day and with darkness coming everything closed early.
