Caught the train to Oxford.
We walked to our bed and breakfast, Newton House. They didn't have our rooms reserved. It turned out that I had made a mistake and booked two nights earlier.
Fortunately, the host of the Newton house found a B & B a few houses down from the Newton House...
We walked through Oxford and found the Eagle and Child pub where Lewis, Tolkien and the Inklings famously met once a week...After lunch Jenny, Julian, Judah and Jackie walked back to rooms; Jacob and I set out to explore Oxford; Jacob soon got impatient with my meandering and went on ahead). I browsed Blackwell Bookshop, took photos of the Bodleian library, bought Jacob an Oxford hoody.
The highlight: meandering through the grounds of Magdelen University, where C.S. Lewis served as a tutor than professor for so many years. I took a ton of pictures. Very beautiful.
Bought Joachim Jeremias' "The Central Message of the New Testament"...
Got home in time to watch England vs. USA in the world cup.
