The Newtown Monuments consist of a large medieval cathedral, two monasteries and small church which date from 1206.
The descriptions that I have seen are a bit confusing in that most of them are different to a lesser or greater degree.
My current understanding is that the main building is the Church of St Peter and St Paul (sometimes called a cathedral). The smaller church in the east of the monastery is the parish church of Newtown Clonbun. This is the burial site of Lucas Dillon (c. 1530 – 1592), Attorney General for Ireland and Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, and his first wife Jane Bathe. There is also a ’Tower House’ and a ‘Refectory’
The medieval cathedral [Cathedral and Priory Of Saints Peter and Paul] is situated in Newtown Cemetery. It was founded close to the temporal power of Trim Castle by the Norman Bishop Simon de Rochfort in c.1206 after his cathedral at Clonard was burned down. Only part of the original nave and chancel of this largest Gothic Church in Ireland survive. Part of the ruined Priory of Augustinian Canons, which were established to maintain the Cathedral, also survive.
Buried under the high alter of the cathedral are the remains of the founder Simon de Rochford (died 1224) and one of his successors, Bishop William Sherwood, who died in 1428.
The figure of the bishop now affixed to the wall of the cathedral was long trodden underfoot and was badly worn in places. The figure is commonly known as ‘king john's daughter' but is probably the figure of Simon de Rochford the founder of the cathedral.
In the parish church in Newtown-Clonbun stands the remains of the tomb of Sir Lucas Dillon and his wife Lade Jane Bathe, daughter of James Bathe of Athcarne and Drunmconrath. The recumbent figures of Sir Lucas in Renaissance armour and his wife in Elizabethian gown surmount the tomb. This tomb is known locally as the tomb of the jealous man and woman because the two figures do not touch each other at all. And also the sword of state separates the figures.

A very misty morning overlooking what used to be an inlet at Saksun, from wiki: the inlet formed a good deep natural harbour, until a storm blocked it with sand. The old harbour became an inaccessible seawater lagoon, only accessible by small boats on high tide.
On the left you can see the church which was originally built in Tjørnuvík, but in 1858 it was disassembled, carried over the mountains and reassembled in Saksun.

China. Yunnan.
Baisha Ancient Town
With a rough population of 320,000, the ethnic group of Nakhi, or Naxi mainly inhabit in Yunnan Province in southern China. The largest single concentration of Naxi people in Yunnan Province live in Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County, while smaller enclaves of Naxi live scattered about in other counties of Yunnan Province.

For my travels in Central Europe and Mexico. Not pictured: Pants, shoes and a shirt which i will be wearing on the plane.
Yes i really am bringing 3 cameras.
2011 Post Trip Thoughts: Probably brought more clothing than necessary and I never really used the Nalgene since most of the water you end up drinking is bottled or in restaurants. I like the lonely planets guides, and I made the right decision to bring a film camera as my best photo from the trip (in my opinion) was shot on film. The streetwise maps are ace, and they are plastic coated so they can't be ruined by water and being able to draw on them with sharpies was nice.
The eurail pass, if under 26(maybe 27???) is a great deal. I highly recommend it. Nothing beat stepping out of a night train in Basel and being able to immediately jump onto a high speed ICE train to interlaken and not worry about tickets. If you are older, trains still are the best way to travel, you just wont get a great deal.
The original St-Matthäus church was built in 1827-33, and was the earliest Protestant church in Munich. It was demolished in 1938. The replacement church on a new location was built in 1953. The modern, red-brick building is one of the two Lutheran episcopal churches of the Protestant church in Bavaria. The free-standing 51m high tower has 6 bells. (Source: DK Eyewitness travelguide).

My son sure does like his hot chocolate and whipped cream ;) More inside.
Last Sunday we went to one of his favorite places to get hot chocolate called Kaffivagninn. It is down my Reykjavik harbor and has been the hangout for local fishermen for as long as I can remember. If you are traveling in Reykjavik and want to go where no tourists go this is the place.
Anyhoo. He wanted his hot chocolate and this cake, and he was very happy about it. As you can see it is not exactly the smallest cup and they are definitely not cheap on the whipped cream either.
This place is pretty cool. It's one of very few places that are unspoiled. It still serves the same food as it did 30 years ago. It serves Icelandic food. Pancakes with whipped cream and jam, open faced sandwiches with mayo, eggs, smoked herring, and prawns. And at lunch time you can get hot, honest, filling, meals.
It's an all together great place.
I want to end this with a link to a fellow flickr user roboppy. When "Bing-ing" Kaffivagninn I came across her travel story from when she visited Iceland and went to Kaffvagnin by accident.
I discovered my passion for coffee in Amsterdam. Most probably because it was so cold and I needed something warm. Here's a frozen caffe latte - ironic, isn't it? This was taken at Dam Square.
It is, I suspect, the only time the Co. Durham town of Shildon has ever appeared on a version of the Inter-City map. For the 150th anniversary of the passenger railway in Great Britain there were a series of events the highlight of which was the Steam Cavalcade on 31 August 1975 that saw a vast collection of locomotives travel the section of line between Shidon and Heighington. It was splendid as I know as I was there.
Shildon, long a part of railway history alongside neighbouring Darlington and Stockton, is now the National Railway Museum's main outpost after York. As well as details of the events there are timetables giving the main connections as seen on the diagram to Darlington and North East England.
