After a good night's rest and a proper English breakfast, we decided on our next destination. Upon the suggestion of a chap named Melvin Chaplain (born and raised in Cassington), we headed to Bladon. This is where Winston Churchill is buried.
I guess we sort of went backwards because our next stop was Blenheim Palace, Winston Churchill's birthplace and the current residence of the Duke of Marlborough. In fact, that's the Duke's Range Rover parked out front. I'm not kidding!
The beauty of the grounds and the enormity of the palace were hard to capture through pictures. Here's my best attempt to show you what we saw.
My favorite part of our time there was enjoying the of serene landscape that's been well-kept for many generations. It's a sharp contrast to the mania of Paris or Los Angeles.

Congratulations Suzanne on your latest update. I think England is going to benefit from surging tourist interest after your posts. I've been there several times and I've never seen any of what you showed us. Thanks!

I agree with Beatri. I've been to England many times and never seen these sites. What a wonderful time you are having. Have a great trip to Italy!
The scenery is quite beatiful, the architecture is phenominal. Thanks for the pictures. Keep enjoying your trip. Tina
