Yesterday one of my classes had the opportunity to go to Hereford, England to look at medieval manuscripts. Thinking we'd be in an archive all day, I didn't bring my good camera.
Silly me.
The archive was a part of Hereford Cathedral, one of the most beautiful churches I have ever stepped foot in. Luckily, I did bring my iPhone and was able to snap a few pics. We spent most of the day handling medieval books and documents as well as exploring the cathedral. I even had the opportunity to transcribe a document signed by Elizabeth I!
As a history major, it's a dream to have opportunities such as this. I've been feeling extremely blessed lately!
Sorry I haven't been blogging as much this week! I've been crazy busy as well as a little but ill. I don't even know if this post makes any sense, seeing as my brain is not functioning properly at the moment. Yay for colds!
Happy Tuesday!
