My husband and I, along with thirty-three American travelers, have been in the UK for almost three weeks and I'm finally over my jet lag. Our tour, Quintessential Britain, was through Road Scholar and was absolutely wonderful. If you haven't gone on a Road Scholar tour, you should consider it. We toured England, Wales and Scotland with a great tour guide and several experts on architecture, history, culture, and literature. We began in London and ended our trip in Edinburgh. I'll post a few photos and descriptions over the next several days starting with London.
