Tessa rook us to Bletchely Park today. Bletcheley Park is where the British miliatary worked on decoding messages the Germans sent on the Enigman machine.
Around the lake is the American Garden --flowers and trees of all 50 states.
Wealso got to met up with Matthew again--he got the day off from Brize Norton because he was scheduled to work today.

Lynn, Tessa, Matthew and I ate dinner at the Talbot Arms in Milton Keynes.
Lynn and I stayed at a B & B in Milton Keynes.
We stayed in a small and charming converted barn--about a hundred years old.
This part of the cottage was built in 1711.
Inside the barn are the exposed beams,
The B and B owner is going to take us to the train in Milton Keynes. We will take the train to London and fly out this evening around 6:00 PM.
Quite a nice day and night--our last in England.
