We spent about a week at the seaside town of St. Ives, Cornwall. Here's the first round of photos from St. Ives.

| Looking across the roofs from the front door of our apartment. |
 |
| View from our beachfront balcony, looking to the Island (which really isn't). |
 |
| We spent a great deal of time just walking around St. Ives on the steep cobblestone streets. |
St. Ives has four different beaches.We were staying in The Piazza on Porthmeor Beach.

 |
| Looking back to the harbor from the Island. |
 |
| The Island has an old stone seaman's chapel on it that was built sometime in the distant past. Most things in England seem to have a distinct history, but this one was vague. There's a trail along the base of the Island, and this was taken from the trail. |
Dogs were everywhere in England, and seem much more accepted in public places (pubs, restaurants, etc.) than in the U.S. Here's a frolicking poodle in the harbor at low tide.
 |
| More people with dogs at low tide. |
 |
| Gardens at Tregenna Castle, which is a large 19th century house converted to an inn on the hill above St. Ives. |

| Barrie uphill on one of our many walks. |
 |
| The local Anglican church. |
 |
| Someone in St. Ives is becoming very, very good at all-net shots. |
 |
| Practice court without a backboard. |
 |
| Gardens looking out over the town. Note the palms. |
 |
| Parking is expensive. St. Ives has become a resort town with limited real estate. You can buy a parking place that comes with a locked parking guard pole. |
 |
| More gardens. |
 |
| Another garden, this one with colored fishing net floats. |

| Sunset from our apartment balcony. |
