Christmas in Canterbury with Academic Travel Abroad

Christmas in Canterbury was my first Christmas away from family, but the tour participants provided excellent conversation and fellowship for this special time of year. They were of a broad age range and from a variety of faith traditions.
 
Our Smithsonian Expert was Rosalind Hutchinson and her knowledge and guidance were always with us as we visited the various sites in and around Canterbury.
 
The highlight was visiting Canterbury Cathedral. We were treated to a special tour on our first day and attended services on the afternoon before Christmas and on Christmas morning.
 
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, presided and shook hands with everyone after the services. Day trips to London and parts of southeastern England added excellent variety to the tour.
