this trip to oxford has been pretty laid back, which i've really enjoyed. since i've been here before, i didn't have to go full force the whole time trying to visit all the "must see" sites. i still saw some fun things, but it was great to rider bikes to the store, make dinner, go to church, and just feel a bit like a local.
i was on my own for awhile yesterday and today while jackie had some meetings, and i had some interesting adventures. both days i went bike riding on some paths and ended up with some serious mud issues. i wish someone had been following me with a video camera...it would have made for some laughs. other than that, i just enjoyed the city and the countryside and treated myself to a lunch of bangers and mach [sausages on a pile of mashed potatoes, my favorite english dish]. and on a non-english note, i learned to make homemade onion rings as well. tonight was our turn to cook for food group at the house and we made a good ol' american meal...cheeseburgers, onion rings, and cokes. it was delish.
