Keble CollegeKeble College
Keble College
This is the chapel for Keble College. Pronounced "Cable". It reminded us somehow of the "Corn Palace" in South Dakota.
Another full day. Chrissy didn't feel like going out and walking today, so Jim and I ( sometimes with Louis) did our personal best on walking with 22,600 steps, which is about 11 miles. I have to admit that after dinner, my legs didn't want to climb the stairs up to our room. We went to the University Park where Louis is determined to unearth a mole. They also have the Cricket grounds here. Then, we returned Louis home and met Glenn at his work, walked up to the college he is affliated with and had lunch in the dining hall with him. We walked to The Voltaire Foundation where Nooni works and was amazed by what they are doing. We went home then and took a nap. It rained until we went to dinner at a Chinese restaurant. The weather has changed and we may do inside things today like the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum. Tell you about that tomorrow.

Glenn is a "Fellow" here at Wolfson College. The most modern and ugliest of the colleges yet. It is for graduate students only.

Most of the houses for sale are on leasehold land. So, the house is yours, but you have a 99 year lease or something on the land.

This is the really "posh" section of town. Most of these owners commute each day to London for work.

A bit too modern for us, but they seemed to have a lot of programs offered to their congregation, including training chaplains for the coming Olympics.
