I am finally beginning my journey! I can't believe it! I arrived on Thursday and have already been in Oxford for a full day. I absolutely love it so far! The fact that I am living in a foreign country has yet to hit me.
So today I went out on the town. I toured Oxford and took lots of pictures!! Or at least until my batteries died (lesson no. 1: bring extra batteries). I visited places that C.S. Lewis used to visit, including his church and "The Eagle and Child," a local pub. Jet lag is still lingering over me but hopefully not for long. I went to a sandwich shop last night for dinner and fell in love with it! I ate an amazing baguette panini with chicken and brie for only 2 pounds. The women who run the shop are very sweet and love to talk to all the ACU students that come by. I will probably be visiting often.
We start school on Monday and I can't wait to delve into Oxford through the Ages to learn more about the history and architecture of the buildings I have been taking pictures of. Also to visit all Oxford's beautiful churches. I've had to adjust to certain things like, people driving on the left side (they even walk on the left side of the sidewalk), different terminology (example: to line-up is to "queue" up), and the appliances. It has already been an adventure!
Here are some pictures:
