October 26 - Pictures from Cornwall (Part 1)

As we drove back from Lands End on the southwest corner of England, we inadvertently found ourselves on the road directly through the village of Mousehole.  There was no turning back.  The street was extremely narrow and we simply had to follow our noses until we reached the other side.  At one point there was a delivery truck coming from the other direction.  We needed to pull over so far to our left that we actually ran over someone’s front step!
 

There are three pictures with this post.  The first one shows me in front of the signpost at Lands End.  It was certainly a windswept and isolated point of land.

The second picture shows Lyle standing in the middle of the main street through Mousehole.  The houses are built with the fronts flush with the street itself.  When we reached the other side of town, we parked the car and walked back.  Lyle read a sign that announced the maximum width of any vehicle passing through was six feet six inches.  We could certainly understand that caution.

The last picture shows the small Mousehole harbour at low tide.  It shows the boats stranded on the sand, but you can see the high water mark on the harbour walls.
