So, this weekend, Ray and I decided to go see Dover. It took a bit longer to get there than it should because they are doing work on Brighton Road, which is the major road that we have to take to get there. Don't get me wrong - I am elated to see the road being repaired here. It nears miraculous, and it is a great thing. But, they closed the road before they put diversion signs in place. They had us turn left into this area that dead ended, getting a bunch of drivers absolutely lost. Then, we finally got back out to Brighton Road, turned around and took the road that got us sort of where we needed to go. It was an absolute mess for a very short section of road. (It was still closed this morning, and backed up for miles.)

Anyway, we eventually got to Dover and discovered that there were a lot of cool things to see, if they were open. For example, we wanted to see the Roman Painted House and it was closed. The website said it was open. The sign in front said that it should have been open. But, it was closed. Then there was Dover Castle. I really wanted to see this. But, despite the fact that Ray had a brochure that said it was open until 5, they closed at 4PM. (I’ve since found what I suspect is actually their website, which says they are only open until 4 for until April 1^st.) But, we did get to walk along the White Cliffs (they are more grayish-yellow) and I got some pretty neat pictures. (I will edit and put in a link once I get them posted.) And we got to see a stone age boat, which was kind of cool. I guess we will just have to go visit again soon to see the things we didn’t get to see this time around. I do have to say, we actually picked a good day to do it… The sun was pretty warm and there was no rain the whole time. Sunday, it did nothing but rain the entire day.
