Rye

I went to Rye with my family today. It took about two hours by car from my flat. We left our car at a car park near Land Gate (see picture) and walked around. We needed only just over an hour for walking because it was a small town. It was an ancient and charming town as well. There were some lovely accomodation for tourists and cafe. Ypres Tower, Land Gate, St Mary's Church, Mermaid Street and Lamb House were the main sightseeing places. I was moved to know that author Henry James(1843-1916) lived in Lamb House. I have watched the film, "The Portlait of a Lady", which was from his original story.
