so the day started at 715 this morning. we met up at the buses at 9am and headed for dallas around 10... a 3 hour bus ride into dfw and then we wait for our plane to get here. We left dfw at 440pm and arrived at 115am dallas time... 9 hrs later at gatwick airport in london.. here in london it was 715 so with hardly any nights sleep and a 2hr bus ride ahead of us we start our first day together in england...
... once we got all of our crap unloaded, set up our rooms and then had a little lunch, the morgans(the people that live and maintain the houses here in oxford) walked us all around oxford and showed us the university, where market is, and where we would be spending most of our time.. it was absolutely beautiful.. there is a meadow about 10 min away on foot that is gorgeous and we go there every once in a while to have bible class and where we can just go and be alone with God
after walking around for about 4 hours we decide to stop at a pub, cause thats what they do here in england, and get some dinner. yes it was only 430 but we were planning on getting in bed early.. so we go to the pub and try to order but dont really know much about beer so we just tell him to give us whatever he would recommend for people that dont drink beer. it was a light beer he said but it was absolutely disgusting. we tried to chug it because we felt dumb leaving a whole 1/2 pint of beer left on the table when it wasnt much to begin with.. but it was disgusting and we felt sick once we tried to chug it. so we ended up just living a few pounds on the table as a tip and making a quick exit. at least we tried it, but i dont think it is something that i will get again..
well its about 5:30pm here and so we are going to try and stay awake till 8 if not at least 7 and then hit the sack for a good nights sleep... ill try and post pictures later once i get some to put up.. until then, GOd bless!
