Short post. Yesterday was our last full day in Oxford. This morning we drive to Heathrow and catch an afternoon flight on Virgin America to JFK. Quick overnight at the airport and on to PHX tomorrow. This will be the last post except for a short “we’re home” post.
We had a great walk around Oxford again yesterday. Anyone planning to come to the UK should visit here. It’s a fascinating city. We visited Oxford University’s Ashmolean Museum, one of the world’s best. The special exhibit at the moment is on “America’s Cool Modernism, O’Keefe to Hopper”. It the only part of the museum for which you have to pay. One painting was by e. e. cummings. Who knew he could paint as well as write uncapitalized poetry? Here are some random photos from the last day. No time for captions, but I’ll add some while at Heathrow..

One last picture from the Ashmolian. I have titled it “Tom Brady Deflategate”, a double entendre. If you get it, honk.
It’s been a great trip, but time to go home.
HONK ! 😂
What a great finale to a fabulous trip. We’ll miss your blog posts, but aren’t you heading to Depoe Bay, Montana, and Seattle before too long? Have a safe trip home.
Oh yeah, HONK!!!
Happy trails, safe trip home, clear skies here in AZ.
Hi Joe,
I have loved travelling along with you through the English countryside. You take beautiful pictures! And enjoyed your commentary as well. You haven’t lost that dry wit. I felt like you really got to experience each area.
This fall, I am taking a trip to Ireland which I’ve been lucky enough to visit a number of times. Your trip has inspired me to change my itinerary so that I can savor some areas that are quite meaningful to me. I will stay in Bantry in West Cork for a week and will do jaunts out each day to the various beautiful towns (Skibbereen, Glengariff, Schull, Baltimore, Clonakilty) and the breathtaking peninsulas (Beara, Sheepshead, Mizen head).
Safe home and best wishes,
Maureen
Glad you enjoyed. Your trip sounds grand.
