Here is a picture of Max and Ray & Jean Williams (no relation) fromFailand, England near Bristol , about 90 miles away. Max has known Ray for nearly 30 years through their scientific work in tree fruit production. Ray is a retired fruit scientist, like Max.
Ray & Jean drove up from Bristol yesterday to visit with us. They spent the night here at Lana & Rob's and will be returning home today.
Ray & Jean love to camp and hike, so they love the Cascade mountain range of the Pacific Northwest. They are widely traveled, and have been to the U.S. many times. I believe the last time we saw them was when they came to our house on Skyline Drive for Max's birthday party in 1998.
It's a beautiful day here... the best so far, so I will get out and take some pictures of the house and gardens.
Cheers from jolly old England,
Carol

Happy Friday!
What is the food like over there, are eatery's much like ours in the states?
That link to Bristol led to a map but I must find a more detailed one now!
It's interesting to hear that Max was a fruit scientist, maybe you can tell us more about his work later on. Must have been nice to see your friends after so long.

Wish we were there with you, but as luck would have it, we didn't get home til 10/14. Keep us up to date on the happenings and we will pretend we are with you.
Always, your loving sister "Connie"
