Falmouth, Cornwall. It's harbor is one of the deepest in the world.

Chris and I could come back to this area of the country time and time again. In fact, we did a end up in Cornwall more than expected. But being abroad for a limited time means spanning your horizons further and on to new adventures. So, we'll just have to come back for our 10 year anniversary.

Falmouth, Cornwall

 on our way! no car, no drive through. trains, countryside, cheese and charcuterie!

views on UK train rides are mesmerizing. nothing like the amtrak from Detroit to Chicago. 

day one: morning run exploring. when you don't have a car and cabs aren't easily available, the best way to explore where you're going to be for a few days is going for a morning run.  

 and get a little lost. it's the best way to figure out where you're visiting. get the lay of the land. 

 discover something, like these old war ruins. we spent an extra hour exploring.  

 the hazy weather didn't hurt the view. it helped. 

can't go to cornwall without trying a pastie. yep, michiganders the yummy things are popular on this side too.

looking out on the harbor and onto St. Mawes.

our super cute b&b. 

following my man.

so much butter. i mean so much lobster. 

my mascot for the weekend is pictured above me here. the queen of cornish ales.

St. Mawes

Looking for treasures. 

St Mawes Castle was built as part of a defensive chain of fortresses by Henry VIII to protect the south coast of Cornwall.
