Oxford England

The past few days have been a whirl wind of historical sites and experiences. Fortuitously I met a new friend to explore this historical cultural feast with. Some of the more notable places we have taken in include: The Eagle and Child or what the locals call "The Bird and Baby"the same place where C.S. Lewis J.R.R Tolkien and others met regular to discuss seminal ideas for what have become the classic Lord of The Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, Saint Mary's Cathedral, and The Oxford Museum. It makes me keenly aware of my lack of historical knowledge and makes me thirsty to learn about all the rich and colorful stories that breath life into a city that was founded more than 950 years ago.

Manchester, NH

Our family arrived at my sisters beautiful home in Bridgewater, NH the view is incredible, breathtaking, inspiring spontaneous praise. It rained for several days but, the view was still gorgeous. The kids picked fresh blueberry's and ate them hand over fist. I think the kids will love their visit with auntie Brenda. Currently I am waiting to board the plane to Newark and then on to London. I plan keeping a daily entry of our adventures in England.
