On July 17, 2022, Clair and I fly from Paris to Granada to meet up with Clair's granddaughter, Valentina, dad John, mom Monica, and Monica's parents Jo and Pat. They had arrived in Barcelona on July 11, and already had a week of sightseeing and touring the countryside under their belts. After making their way to Madrid and Toledo, they pick up a nice, comfortable, air conditioned van, and continue south, where our story begins.

Spending a month in England in 2022, it seemed a good idea to alternate city and countryside. This was a good time to finally see the Cumbria Lake District that I had long heard about. I selected a youth hostel on the basis of favorable reviews and that it was located right near a lake and a bus stop.
We now sing the praises of the Lake District and the good fortune that blessed us with day after day of beautiful June weather.
