Oxford, Kent and other day trippiness

These photos are definitely not very exciting, but they sum up my 2009 Easter Holidays. We moved from south to north london in the middle of the break and thus i did not venture anywhere further than about an hour away from the local environs. Dawn and I day tripped to her old university stomping grounds at Oxford, then Jen and I journeyed to rainy Brighton for a few hours and finally i spent the Easter weekend with Jen's family where we drank red wine, ate more cheese and drove around looking for bunny rabbits. I kid you not.

These photos are far from touristy, and that's what I love about them. I often forget that i'm in a lovely and culturally different country with lots of charms. And it's great to see England through the eyes of my friends who've grown up there all their lives.

Oxford

i thought it only appropriate to take a picture outside OUP as i applied, without hope, for roughly thirty-seven jobs here


apparently this is the society to end all societies at Oxford


inside a fantastic dimly lit and nooky pub near the grand union canal...


in a lovely french restaurant...everything a cheese plate should be

Brighton



only in England

Kent

nearly as exciting as Rochester, Michigan


cool pondy, lake thing near Jen's house...no bunnies but lots of cool water fowl


face off between the farm animals...both funny and incredibly scary


i'm making some serious progress with this blogger thing. i could be grading papers so this clearly seems like the better option. more to come soon.
