Chester

 Back in England...
The city of Chester is a beautiful walled city full of gorgeous Elizabethan architecture, pedestrian streets, Roman ruins, a castle and a cathedral.  We enjoyed exploring it for a day on our way home from Wales.







 Handel's Messiah was rehearsed here - at Chester cathedral - previous to its debut in Dublin.  This is the original manuscript:

    Original manuscript of the Messiah! Cool! I had to zoom in on that picture so I could take a better look at it. Wow! (Thinking about you a lot lately... haven't had much time on the computer though...)
