Hello From Penzance - There are alot of pirate costumes around here.  Yesterday mornig I arrived from Falmouth.  Both Falmouth and Penzance are in Cornwall which is owned by Prince Charles.  Sometimes I have heard it called the land of Saints, because all of the place names are somehow related to a saint.  It was once a big minning area with gold tin and other minerals.  One local told me that the industrial revolution started here and the first gas lamp was lit in Penzance.  There is a statue in the middle of town on a street called Market Jew Street of a man, last name Davys, who invented the use of nitrous oxide as a pain killer.  He also worked with Michael Faraday and helped discover a few new elements on the periodic table.  Today I went walking on a path that goes through 4 different parishs.  I didn't make it all the way, but I hiked about 25 miles.  Tomorow I may start hiking the Cornwall coast path to St Just.  I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi From Plymouth  -  Plymoth might be the wettest city Ive ever been to.  It is perpetually wet.  It is funny that there ia a giant sundile in the middle of the city.  There is so little sun.  My roomate is a writter from Northern Ireland.  He's a pretty cool dude.  There are also some people from Spain and Germany, but its much quieter and emptuier then the other hostels Ive been too.  Tomorow I am going to catch the bus to St Austil or Penzance in the district of Cornwall South Western England.  It is sometimes called the land of saints.  It used to have its own language, simmilar to Welsh, and most of the cities are named after saints.  I am running out of time.  I hope all of you are doing well.  Celeste, King Arthur has become a world wide story and most all countries even Japan have Arturian legends associated with them.  Which is cool!  I think it origianlly came from Wales or Scotland

Hi from Plymouth -  I got here yesterday afternoon.  I have been fighting off a runny nose, and its getting better now.  Plymouth is a pretty big port city in Devon which is a district of South London.  It has seen many wars from world wars and the French and English wars.  It There are many nice restraunts and people. In 1492 the Mayflower left from Plymouth.  I  sent the message below a few days ago

 

Hi from Bath - The weather in Bath has been wet.  Yesterday I played a few songs with my penny whistle at Open Mike night here at hostel "St Christophers".  Stone Hendge was really remarkable.  The English Heritage Organisation runs the park where it is located and there is a great audio tour provided on a portable listening device.  It is really worth the trip.  There is alot to learn.  There are 30 different Lichens growing on the stones that were erected 3500 years ago, back when the ground was covered in trees.  Im out of time again.  Some body wanted to know when Arthur existed 400 AD I think aproxamirtly.

Hello From Saint-Malo Brittagne France, an incredibly beautiful place.  The old part of the city where I am right now is walled like a castle, and you can walk along the walls or out to the sea.  The old cathedral in the center of the old part of the city is dedicated to Saint-Malo.  It has stained glass windows depicting the saint and sailers and of course religious scenes.  When I walked through the gates this morning for the first time, it was like walking back in time.  The city is realitively quiet with cobble stone streets like most cities in Brittagne, but there are not many moterests and it is safe to walk on the streets on foot.  This is a port city like Roscoff north of St-Pol-de-Leon where I was a few days ago, and it is from here that I will take the boat to Portsmouth on the 12th.  I have been enjoying sea food here!  Last night I had sea food stew, and sea food salad.  The residence I am in is very nice and has its own facilities so I have the option to cook meals or take a bath.  Micah

Hello from St Breiuc. I am nearing the end of my time in Brittany now
(6 days left, 7 nights) I will miss it here and want to come back.
Especially the smaller cities like the one I was at yesterday
Saint-Pol-De-Leon. It was like that town where the munchkins live in
the wizard of Oz. The Cathedral there associated with St Pol was
beautiful as are all of the cathedrals I have seen here thus far.
Insidethe skull of the saint is housed in a bronze minuature house,
and the stain glass windows depict stories of the liives of saints
like St Pol defeating the dragon. The other cathedral there, called
Notre Dame Kreisker, was built in the 15 & 16 century, has the tallest
tower of all of Brittany and was used for navigation. The town had a
busteling economy around the time it was built. They say that his is
the reason Napoleon did not destroy it. Maybe your curious about what
I have been eating here? Well today I had Chineese food for lunch at
a restraunt in StPolDeLeon called the Phenix Dragon. The lady who
waited on me was very nice and she lived in wales for 1 year in Usk
which is in the South in Cardigan. She said she liked it there. She
also has a cusin who lives in LA. She gave me a souveneir picture for
an artichoke festival, because they grow alot of artichokes in that
area. For dinner I ate, for the third time, more out of desparateness
than want this time, dinner at a chain restraunt called Buffalo Grill
which has an American theme. Country music sung in American, as much
of the music and movies here are from America. Its kind of a kick to
eat American as though it were an ethnic food. Bye for now. Orvwa

Hello from Brest France - I have been unable to get to a computer untill now, but have been having a nice time in Brittany.  Yesterday I sent some pictures that I took in Le Conquet.  Le Cpnquet is a fishing town with a history going back to Iron age Celts.  It was raided ti,e and again by English and Norman qnd Viking raiders through the centurys.  The transit system here is great for a traveller like myself, because once you are in a city such as Brest, it is easy to take the bus and spend the day in any of the smaller coastal towns.  I have been finding many beautiful old Celtic Churchs.  The one I was in yesterday had stain glass windows of some of my Celtic saints: Pol-deLeon, Gwievear, and then I took a walk along the coast to St Matheus point and saw some great lighthouses and an old abbey dedicated to St Mathiue presumably on a site originally established by St Tanguay.  There was also another church that used to be in the town which was dedicated to saint Christopher the patron saint of travelling, but that was destroyed in the 15th century by raiders.  It is not too dificult to get by without speaking French, and having taken some Latin and Spanish helps.  I have found a few speakers of the original Breton language, and all sighns are usually written in both languages.  I was told by one ,an who worked at a bookstore qnd spoke English that there are schools being established around Brittany that teach everything in Breton including math.  Well, I am off now to a town called Saint-Pol-De-Leon where I will spend the night and then tomorow I am going to St Breiuc.
