Day 7: Reading

The day after we got back from Ireland we had originally planned on doing some traveling to see some other sights, but by consensus we decided a break was in order, so while Jen got some much-needed work done, my parents and I wandered around Reading a bit, and had a bit more restful day.

During our stay in Reading, some of the neat things we saw include:

A big lion, in a park in downtown Reading


More pictures of the park




The remains of Reading Abbey





More of downtown Reading



Poor Queen Victoria. A roost for pigeons, and seriously in need of cleaning. Royalty just aren't treated as well anymore, I guess.



The following were taken along the canal.


The crane (above) was taken on behalf of my mother. Yay 12x optical zoom!




There were a few other neat things in Reading, but I've covered the highlights, in brief here. Sorry for the lack of commentary, I'm feeling somewhat pressed for time right now.
