Falkner....Faulkner? Our long trip to Rowan Oak

This afternoon Tandra, Qiao and I set out to visit Faulkner's home, fondly known in Oxford as Rowan Oak. What could have been a 35 minute walk from Sara's house, turned out to be a 1 hour and 30 minute walk that took us along an overpass above highway 6 and back again. Sometimes, it is not good to trust google maps (especially in the South, where it is common to have two roads with the same name in close proximity to one another). Apparently, we wanted the other Old Taylor Road.

Once we got to Rowan Oak, the long and arduous walk was worth it. The grounds of Faulkner's home were gorgeous. I think the following pictures will explain the rest...
