Our first stop today was at Hanham Mount, right outside of Bristol, where George Whitefield preached his first open-air sermon. He also brought John Wesley to this spot to preach on several occasions. It was a very special place to be.
The signs also informed us that the Baptists used to swim across the river to preach at this spot. We also learned that John Wesley traveled a quarter of a million miles on horseback preaching the gospel, enough to travel to the moon.
We then headed west and spent the late afternoon popping in and out of bookshops in Hay-on-Wye. I'll try to share some pictures of those tomorrow. It is time for bed on this side of the ocean.
John David & I are enjoying looking at your posts together. Thank you for such great documentation of your adventures. Hope it's another wonderful day. Much love
