Coventry Cathedral

On our way to Stratford, we drove through Coventry to see the cathedral that had been bombed during World War II. The Germans bombed the city after choosing it from a tourist book… Small cities known for their beauty were chosen to destroy. In retaliation, the Allies chose the German city of Dresden to bomb.

The leaders of Coventry Cathedral decided after the war to not rebuild the old structure but instead build a new cathedral adjacent to it with the theme of peace and reconciliation running through it. The following photos explain a little more about the Coventry Cathedral, and I’m sure more thoughts will come up after we travel to the sister city of Dresden. INSERT PHOTOS

The same day, before getting to Stratford, we went to Warwick Castle. It was expensive, touristy, crowded, but still rather fun to see. And that’s all I’ll say about it, cuz I feel it’s a waste of my time. But, if you’d like to know the history behind it feel free to look it up. INSERT PHOTOS

Okay, so i can't get the photos in right now... but if someone reminds me, i will eventually. actually, even if someone doesn't remind, i will eventually... just maybe later than sooner.
