| < Second day in England-Cotswolds | Fourth day in England- Stourhead and Heyshott > | |
Today, after spending the night in the pretty Cotswolds again, we headed out to see Susan in Broadwell (near Lechlade). I dropped Rosemary off and I spent half the day in Oxford. I found Oxford very nice, though I wasted sometime by not getting off the bus in time, so I had to back-track. I saw some of the sites briefly, and infiltrated Oxford University for a few minutes. After some nice vegetarian-friendly Indian food, I headed back to pick up Rosemary. She and Susan had a very nice visit in Susan's beautiful, garden-surrounded, home. From here, Rosemary and I headed to Gloucester to "The Air Balloon", a pub, It is located between where we were staying and where Rosemary's cousin Guy and his wife Fiona live. We had an early dinner, and a lovely visit with Guy and Fiona, of Hereford. We hope to see them in California in the not too distant future. After that, headed into the hotel and I spent time running and swimming at my new favorite gym and pool. I hope to get up early enough to use the facility once more before we check out. We meet Rosemary's niece, Sally, in Stourhead tomorrow. I'm told Stourhead is really beautiful. I hope the rain lets up so we can enjoy walking the grounds. On Thursday, London is voting for their mayor. I'm personally kind of rooting for 'Red Ken'.

The pic inside The Air Balloon was messed up, so I fixed it from your original. Something made the faces all splotchy in your version (compare at http://kelsi.quickwitretort.com/attachment/kelsi/2008/04/29/0/IMG_1052.JPG-bad)
