Homeward bound..

 This is the dash of the rental car, a Nissan Qashqai(???) Yep, 71 mpg out of a 1.5L turbo diesel.
I think in the US this is called a Rouge. It was a really nice car.
 Leaving Scotland. :(
 Amber doing a great job driving on the "wrong" side of the road.
We were within 12 miles of Silverstone but didn't have time to take a look.
 Waiting for the train from Oxford to London.
 Travel by train is not so bad.
 Approaching Iceland again.
 Hello Canada. Watch out for the ice. 
Our Canadian layover was a challenge due to North American Customs and Icelandair 
slowly unloading bags. We had to run to the gate to make the flight!!
....we made it to San Francisco thinking the rental car desk had closed! 
Big smiles when we found them open.
 Over the Bay Bridge...
..and back home. What an adventure! :)

Stretch up your long necks to face the sun,
