Oxford Day One

After many days of traveling, we have arrived in Oxford. It is old and beautiful and I think I'm going to really like it, once I move in, which is still another couple days away. There are so many stories just from the past few days...like the day we went on a bike ride in Paris during a downpour and every driver thought it would be fun to drive in the puddles and splash us...I was riding through tidal waves...but it would take novel to tell all the stories. Instead, I have uploaded plenty of pictures from our travels. Here are the links...

The weather is cold and I see the sun significantly less than southern california. After converting dollars to pounds, I also have significantly less money. I usually feel lost, but after just a day here in Oxford, I'm starting to figure out my way around the colleges and some libraries. (I also found a mall, which would be great, except that everything is almost twice as expensive after converting it...so I doubt I'll be shopping much, unless it's for food.) I've also found a couple cafes, a McDonald's (when I feel like something familiar), and a great place for afternoon tea.

I am starting to miss home more and more. But I know this experience will be worth it. Until next time...cheers!
