oxford

On July 4th, we traveled from London to Oxford. Before we left for holiday, we had one friend who was extremely concerned about us not getting to celebrate+see fireworks on the 4th of July. He wondered if England would celebrate for us. Obviously there is no celebration since that marks the day we gained our independence from them – we had to school J on this. 🙂 In American fanfare, we celebrated with pizza for dinner at AskItalian.

Anthony was accepted to present at a conference at Oxford, which made our trip all do-able (this is the same reason we came 2 years ago). Last time we stayed in the housemaster’s apartment but this go round we were stuck in a dorm room with two twin beds + shared bathrooms. Yay! It was a real treat (read: I slept like crap the entire time).

I explored the heck out of the city two years ago so I had plans of staying in my pajamas + editing away. Mission accomplished! Sunday morning I did wonder west of town. I love all the charming homes, they’re my favorite!

I saw on my map about a boat rental nearby and captured some images there. Now that I’m going through all of these images, it makes me super anxious to share all the images from 2012. I have some very colorful ones to share!

Next up: Bath!
