Trip 24: Lake District (England's "Best View")

To celebrate Mara's 4th birthday, we hit the road to meet up with some American friends in the Lake Distri ct.  We were blessed with incredible weather, great company, and the opportunity to explore some fantastic landscapes.

We found the English equivalent of Yosemite, only it seems like most Brits must not know about it because there were only about 20 other people around.  Maybe it is because you need to drive for 65 minutes down crazy roads fighting sheep, cows, and a few other vehicles on one-way roads like this:

Lake District Drive

The view of Wastwater Lake was unreal.  Check this out...We had no idea that England was so beautiful!
