Walking the Canterbury Trail

On Saturday morning we skipped Matins, ate an early breakfast, picked up sack lunches and headed out for our walk on the Canterbury Trail.  Here we are in the lobby, checking out the map for our route.
Our first stop was at Richborough, the fort where St. Augustine most likely came ashore on his mission from Rome.

I'm sitting in the ruins of a baptismal font at Richborough.

After visiting Richborough, the bus drove us back inland a few miles, to a car park seven miles out from Canterbury.  It was here that we began our walk in the footsteps of Augustine along the Canterbury Trail.  We had a gorgeous day for our walk, especially considering that it had been cold and gray for several days previous!




Beautiful trees!
