Castle Life Commences

Hello Durham! You can't go wrong when you lodge the Fulbright group in an actual castle. I can't really even describe the experience so I will just post pictures today. The only downside was finding a way to get 50 lbs. of luggage up 105 steps to the top of the turret... 


We had time to relax and pull our jaws off the ground before heading out to a great little Italian restaurant for great conversation and brick oven pizza. 

If these photos are any indicator, our stay will be well appointed...

Walking over the bridge from the student union to campus


Once across the bridge 


Heading into "Our Castle"



Linn got the magic key to the suite 


View of the Great Hall out my window of the castle 


And the view of the cathedral from the other window


Then dinner


Cathedral at night ::swoon::


And Home Sweet Castle :-)
