Jersey- not the US state New Jersey, but “old” Jersey- is one of the UK Channel Islands. It is actually closer to France (you can see the coast of France on a clear day!) than to the UK. I think it was Victor Hugo who said the Channel Islands were “Bits of Europe dropped by France and picked up by England.” Jersey (like the cow- renowned for its high milk yield and amazing taste, note the photo), Guernsey (also a breed of cow), Herm, Sark and Alderney are the Channel Islands (Herm and Sark seen here). Here’s a nice shot of the market in downtown St. Hélier, the capital.
Katie,
ReplyDeleteI love the cows!! I also think I would love any place that was both English and French :) The pictures are great and I am so happy that you are having a good trip. I must say that I am insanely jealous and reminiscing about Cambridge, but I am so happy that you are having a good time. It was great to get caught up on what you are doing. We are having a great time with Libby and we think of you often. Enjoy your trip, tell Monty we say hello, and we can't to hear from you again!
Cheers,
Kim (& Chris & Libby by proxy)
Wussap Katie!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you already know this, but you and Monty are quite the handsome pair. :) Great pictures--I enjoy living vicariously through you! Hope to see you back in Oregon soon.
