Our second to last day we punted the river Thames. That is, we enjoyed an outing of punting, that is, pushed a pole against the river bottom to propel the punt, that is, a shallow boat having a flat bottom and square ends. Healthy relaxation on a simple water-going vessel wine accompanied. Throw in rare Oxford sunshine. Terrific. The trip all in all was, to quote, epic.

Several hours of flight, little sleep, screaming babies, bacon and egg breakfast tacos. 3 of those blow, 1 reigns.

Arrived with thoughts of sleep but was met with James, Rick, and Jake inspired fossil hunting and a trip southward with James to pick up his $740 92 Corolla.
