Still having a great time. I will say less here in the beginning and put more explanations with the pictures. Thank you for your greetings and prayers while we are here. Glenn & Nooni are now in Venice for her birthday and we are experiencing normal life in Oxford. The walking is wonderful! Two days we have gone over 18,000 steps. Should be less now that we don't have to go back and forth to Lincoln College. Here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy them. Cheers!

John Wesley was a "Fellow" here in the 1700's. I tried to take a picture of his study, but the glass reflected too much and I couldn't get a clear shot.

We even had a small piano that Chrissy played for us, so now she can say that she played at Oxford.
