Blenheim! All I can say is WOW! The house was beautiful and the gardens and grounds were even better. I took a landscape architecture class at UW and learned all about the places that we have been visiting and it's so great! I actually shocked some of the tour guides when I knew the answers to some of their questions. The Palace is home to the Duke of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. It has 2100 acres of land around it landscaped by Capability Brown. We spent majority of the time walking the grounds. The secret garden was my favorite. It was so pretty and peaceful. I loved it. I also tried Cream Tea which is popular out here. It's basically a scone with honey butter, jam and a cup a tea. Every day is filled with new experiences! I love it!

Hello Little Girl:
Once again enjoying your reports and the enthusiasm you send with them. Nice to hear your schooling is lending itself useful in relating to the places your visiting.Don't get to hooked on that archetecture your studying, cause I don't believe Jackson Wyoming is ready for Cassie's Castle.Keep exploring and enjoy every minute of your trip.
