Mom and I just finished a trip to the U.K. This time we did not visit London at all. Instead we focused on several other interesting cities and villages, including Cambridge (where DHB gave a talk on computer arithmetic), York (northern England), Oxford (western England), the Cotswold (a picturesque area in western England), as well as Blenheim Palace (where Winston Churchill was born) and Windsor Castle. Here are some photos:
