Preparing for Home


In preparing to return to the States I realize that there
are just a few details we have not shared with you over
the last month or so. We ventured to Scotland and England
and now are riding out the last couple of days in Zurich revisiting
some of our favorite sites.

From Scotland: The Chimneys of Edinburgh


The Queen's Castle, Holyrood, in Edinburgh -- a summer residence


The seacoast town of Dunbar, Scotland, birthplace of
American conservationist John Muir


From England: The remains of a medieval fortress in York


The Castle in Newark, England, where King John
(of Magna Carta fame) died.


A statue honoring women's contributions
during World War II, Westminster, England

And, finally, from Zurich -- specifically the
woods beside the River Sihl -- comes
the photograph of grandson Luke and a tadpole.
I titled the photo: "Catch, Wonder, and Release"

Thank you for sharing our yearlong sojourn with us!
