Day 10 - Home Again

This morning we woke up early and ate breakfast.  We had packed most of our stuff the night before, but we had to gather up everything and get it off the boat and clean up.  Before long, our bags were sitting alongside the boat.  I grabbed a latte at the cafe there and then the cab arrived.  The driver, Allen, was the same guy who brought Barbara last week.  He took us to Heathrow and dropped us off at our terminal, and took Barbara to hers.

This was surely a fun trip.  It had its ups and downs, but mostly ups!  We saw some beautiful scenery, toured some fascinating places, and met terrific people!  Slawek, Carlos and Lisa of LeBoat Benson were so kind and helpful during a scary and upsetting time.

We talked to all sorts of folks during this trip, and invariably, we were asked about the upcoming presidential election.  Each and every one of them wanted to know how it was possible that Donald Trump was one of the candidates.  There was great concern by all of them about the possibility of his being elected.

We also asked them about their upcoming election to determine whether the UK would stay in the EU.  Most wanted to leave, citing a desire for their country to decide for itself who might be allowed to live there, with whom they might do business, and other similar reasons.

Below are a few of the pictures that I hadn't included earlier.
