the Monk zone: September 2007

Sunday night picture of the music hall in Newcastle.

From inside the chapel.

This is from the back of the castle. Notice the little building off the back of the castle behind the head stones. That is where I took the stained glass pictures.

This is from the castle grounds looking out over the North Sea. Proof that I do exist.

Then I took the metro/tube to the North Sea. The river Tyne is the river thru Newcastle. The city here on the North Sea is named Tynemouth (get it? It took me a while. But I didn't get the whole "I see dead people either, until Andrew explained it to me.)

This is Earl Grey.

You will never guess who this is. The Brits take their tea seriously.

This guy was from the Royal Scottish Guard and a real bad ass.

As I walked downtown Newcastle, I ran in to a memorial/tribute service for British and Scottish was vets.

Then I came across this ice cream truck. "Mind that child!!"

For some reason, I got the biggest kick out of the Candy Floss.

Now it is Sunday morning. This is the bridge (traffic and walking) that I stood on last night to take the pictures of the ships and the bridge that lights up. The brown building in the background is the Hilton where I am staying. You can see my room, but I'm not waving, cause I'm down here taking the picture.
