Day 2

Today is Sunday June 15th. Yes it's Father's Day and I'm over here in Europe traipsing around. Happy Fathers Day Daddy! I Love you ♡

I need to buy a couple of things while I'm over her like an adapter and a calling card. I'll have to find a store today before my phone battery runs out.

Met up with Joy while having breakfast. We walked into town together and purchased everything we needed. We the walked around and looked in shops. We ended up getting lost and going in the wrong direction so we were a couple minutes late to the only seminar we had that day. It was a great first adventure to have though!

When we finally made it to the orientation we got to meet Simon Lancaster who is head of our student affairs, Australian, and really funny! He gave us a 2 hour tour of Oxford and I had a great time :)

I got back from the tour about 20 minutes after 6 pm. Had a sandwich for dinner and got to chat with other students eating down there as well.

Went up to my room after dinner to Skype with my Dad and tell him happy father's day! Ended up talking with my mom for about an hour and showing her the view from my window.

I've seen so many things and everything has really been a fluster that I don't really know where to start. When Joy and I were on our adventure we got to watch some punting action which is really cool. There were also some English guys singing Irish pub songs behind us as we walked down the road which was interesting. 

One girl in our group commented that it seems it would be more fun to travel here as a married couple or with your significant other and I think she is spot on.  Watching all these cute couples holding hands and walking down the road is so sweet. I can't imagine what it would be like to travel with someone you love.

  1. From little old La Pine Oregon to Oxford in England! Must be at least a bit of a culture shock!

    It is! Although I think the foreign currency exchange is what has me the most right now... Darn conversion rates!
