Dear Friends:

Jill and I would like to invite you to join us on this exciting tour of England & Scotland.

Imagine walking through Stonehenge and pondering the mysteries there; learning more about the mighty Roman Empire in Bath, and enjoying the scenic beauty of the Lake District. Also some of you will recall your study of English literature as we see places that inspired Wordsworth and Coleridge. As we walk the streets of Stratford-on-Avon, we will be surrounded by reminders of Shakespeare. We will also travel to the beautiful city of Edinburgh in the Scottish lowlands and the ancient city of York. Enjoy a stop in Oxford, a famous center of learning in England. And finally, we will spend three nights and two full days in London, the most cosmopolitan city in the world.

This tour will highlight cathedrals, castles, pageantry, drama, good food and fellowship, and even the English language (though somewhat different from our own). What more could you ask? We hope you want to be a part of this venture into history. Together we will build a storehouse of memories from this wonderful tour of England & Scotland.

Make your reservation today to come along with us. We expect this trip to fill up quickly, so we encourage you to book early.

Sincerely,
Jim and Jill
