Portsmouth





The next trip sponsored by the program (so I suppose ultimately sponsored by us...) was to Portsmouth, a port city (who knew!) on the Southern coast of England. We spent the day exploring the harbor, and England's naval history. We were given all inclusive passes to visit three historic battleships and various museums and tours. Unfortunately, one of the three ships was undergoing preservation processes and another had a set tour time, which I and many others missed to due some misguidance and a fast clock. Alas. But I did get to wander freely about the battleship Warrior, which as fascinating.





The museums contained lots of interactive activities for children, all of which I annihilated, and a whole lot of prow sculptures, many of which were mythological figures. I must say, I do not like what they did with Calliope. I thought she was supposed to be Jane Austen.








The day was sunny, for once, and we managed to find a very strange and somewhat random stone path that just disappeared into the water, from which we watched the sunset. It was beautiful.
