Visit to 11th Century Abbey Ruins

"But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice:  let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them:  let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee."  Psalm 5:11

This was a table.

 

This was the toilet.

"Plumbing" for toilet.

 

We especially enjoyed the architectural details.

 

Can you imagine stone steps being worn like these over the centuries?

An actual very old ford over the creek.

Lovely stable.

These are the connectors they used for the wooden support beams throughout the inside of the building.

Elder Blain met the world travelers below (100 countries is their goal) and is wearing a real sheep hat.  It must have come from the black sheep in the family.

These people are amazingly talented and interesting.  We'll have to tell you their story later.
