9th July 2016

I say my farewells to Jen, Zoe and Daisy, and Jorge kindly drives me to Portland Airport.

After a last breakfast in The Country Cat...

...with an excellent view of the TSA (Thousands Standing About - This line copyright Jorge)...

...I prepare to say farewell to the USA once again - to return to an oddly dis-United Kingdom...

The flight is fine - one of the flight attendants remembered me from three weeks ago and was very keen to hear about the trip. She made sure I never went short of food and drink for the trip. She also got me an emergency exit seat with an empty one next to me...

There was a four and a half hour lay-over at Schiphol, but I get home about 1430 on Friday.

I release Marnie from kennels within the hour and take her for a walk...

My camera work is clearly better suited to landscapes than action pictures, but I think...

...these...

...pics show...

...her general reaction...

It has been a great trip - but it's good to be home...

I spot this old lady at the side of the road - anyone like to guess make/model/year? It looks to still be in daily use, but he's going to have to get some paint on the bonnet pretty soon, I'd think...

...

It looks like a Buick Riveira and I would guess mid 60's........ Some of the Riveiras from that era are just gorgeous

Cadillac Deville 72 maybe??

Any guesses on the identity of this old gent?

Another Chevrolet Bel Air 57 ?? Can you just imagine the damage the "decoration" on the bonnet would do to a pedestrian......

Any guesses?

Oldsmobile 442 maybe 60/70

Fantastic write up as usual Mike. Thanks for taking the time. I think I have realised I know nothing about American cars even though I go to a classic car meet most Saturday evenings here in Houston.... I think I need to take a note book

The car the El Camino is based on. 67 is right.
