Oxford and Birmingham, 9/1/09






Yesterday our group made the transition to Birmingham for four days of rest and relaxation after the craziness of London. We're staying at this cute Quaker residence that's so serene! They have a nature preserve in their backyard, including a small lake. The premises are beautiful and it's been nice to rest. On our way over here, we stopped in Oxford for 3 hours just to see the sights. I ate in a pub where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien wrote! We'll be here (in Birmingham) until Friday, but I wish it were longer! I like the peaceful landscape and slower lifestyle... and they even have an art room that is like a dream!

Love you all
