Dave tested his driving ablilites today as we circumnaviated the Cotswolds. There is not much distance between these cute little towns, but, when using "Catherine" to guide us, we sample all of the different kinds of roads that are available. "Catherine" is Dave's GPS, and she knows everything. No map could do better, because she knows the shortest, most miniscule routes to get everywhere. We travel four lane and two lane highways, as well as narrow roads with a line down the middle. The ones that are the most fun(?!) are about 14' wide and when we pass someone, I cringe so I don't touch the trees on my left. It's freaky to drive on the wrong side of the road when you're the passenger. Not so for Dave - he's having a great time driving. But, these are the prettiest roads with gorgeous scenery on both sides. Anyway, today we visited Moreton-in-the-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, Upper and Lower Slaughter, Bibury, and Painswick. Whew! That's a lot of pretty little towns! And they are indeed pretty. I'm a tad ashamed at what some of Maine must look like to visitors. These folks keep their homes well groomed and very clean, and their gardens are all so pretty. We tend to like the towns that have less traffic and smaller villages. The pics today are of a pretty church in Lower Slaughter and a series of row houses on Arlington Lane in Bibury.
