We finaly got off our feet for a little while today. Some of the group went back to London, but I (and others) stayed here in Oxford. We all woke up late and watched movies until we were ready for lunch in the afternoon. We walked to town and instead of eating right away we got distracted at the tourist stores. I've been looking for the perfect (simple) Oxford sweater. Found it....purple :) We then ate at the oldest Pub in Oxford, the Turf Tavern.
Remember back in the day when Bill Clinton denied inhaling the maryj? Well, this was the pub that it didn't happen in. So...i was were Bill Clinton was...again. (whether you like him or not...that's still cool. you know it)
So after eating we walked around a little more. Got cookies at Ben's Cookies...that were really good. (everyone brags about those) and then we got Moo Moo's milkshakes. AMAZING.
I think that we were all meant to be here this summer. I mean we made a guard laugh, we have done so many cool things! While walking down the street today we spotted a couple of men with cameras. One of the guys just walked up to them and started talking so we all joined in. They were super nice! Turns out it was the CEO of Wesley Mission for the Methodist churches, out of Sidney, Australia. They were making a documentary about the founder of the Methodist church. He really loved us! All of the workers were interested in all of us. Especially when we mentioned that we were JMC majors. Very cool. Very cool.
I actually didn't want to lug my camera around today, so there are no pictures. But I just realized that i haven
t showed you were we live.....
Tomorrow we have class at some point and we are going somewhere for it....I'm not sure where though. Guess you;ll just have to wait and see (like me)!
Nice to see your home away from home! Sounds like you had a nice day....a purple Oxford sweater! And I'm so glad you did not inhale maryj in the same very old tavern where Bill Clinton did not inhale maryj. I'm counting on the fact you were not even close enough to smell...much less inhale. LOL Glad you got to rest, and I know you're gonna do great on your presentation tomorrow!! Love you little chick! :)
