Good Day Mate

After traveling for about 20+ hours (8 hour bus ride from tamarindo to san jose, 6 hours at a hotel, 3 hour flight to miami, 4 hour layover, 8.5 hour flight to london, 1 hour bus ride to oxford, so I guess about 31-32 hours all told), we arrived in Oxford yesterday morning where we slept on Kennedy's floor for a few hours, then walked with Sam to Weiss' place where we went out to an awesome pub (same tavern where Tolkein and C.S. Lewis used to hang out, very cool). wow, long first sentence.

We ate dinner at Keble dining hall. Everything is way more traditional here--students have to wear their eating gown otherwise they wont' be let in. The buildings here are incredible, all looking like castles and crisp green lawns that you're not allowed to walk on. The whole place is awesome, we are thinking about staying an extra night here to see Mozart's Requiem at the Oxford theatre or something like that. We'll see how that goes.

Next stops are London, then Edinburgh. I'll let you know how it goes.

much love
Andrew
