Cornwall Visit

For our 20th anniversary Ruth and I spent two weeks in England: a week in London, and a week in Cornwall. The Cornwall visit included five days of hiking (averaging 7-8 miles a day) with guide Paul Simmons, along the South West Coast Path. The scenery was stunning. I've put together a slide show from each day. It was a wonderful trip.

In 1968 my family lived outside of London while my dad was on sabbatical leave from the college in Massachusetts where he was a professor of chemistry. I went to a British high school for the year. It was an incredible year of growth for me and I credit it, in part, for the person I am today.

We spent a Christmas holiday in Cornwall that year, so this trip in May had many moments of déjà vu.

Day 2 of hiking took us to the north coast of Cornwall, which is historic mining country and the location for the Masterpiece series, Poldark.
