Ely

Boom!

Ely Cathedral

The Barnes clan ventured to Ely (pronounced "eee-lee" ) yesterday where we walked through its vast cathedral, which was built in the 11th century and has played host to a few Hollywood spectaculars, including the movie "Elizabeth."

While there we watched the cathedral's amazing choir rehearse (note to self: must hear one of these incredible chapel choirs perform), and visited the stained glass museum, where the kids used beads to put together their own "stained glass" creations (no lead, thank you very much).

Like most places in and around Cambridge, Ely is a  lovely spot for a walk (and feeding wayward horses).
