Trip Report - England Part II - St. Albans

St. Albans - Part II
We then spent the next two nights and days in St. Albans where we had easy access to London – only 20 minutes by train. St. Alban is a quaint, nice town with a beautifully huge Abbey, a nice park and old roman ruins. I also became quite familiar with the town, in fact; so familiar that when we met an English man in a bar and he mentioned he lived on Fish Pool Street, I immediately knew where he was referring to. Again, I started to give tours of the local area. We also had some incredible food (wow, some really good food, so good in fact, I wanted a year supply doggie bag to take with me back to Switzerland…thanks Chris and Amanda – these are some friends from the States who recently relocated to England – nice food, good company, and really nice food – I know, I already mentioned the food, but it was really that good!)
