Day 1; Sunday, July 6; We arrive in Oxford!



Today we arrived at London Heathrow around 8:30 AM.  After everyone received their bags and got through customs, our driver, Paul, picked us up. Once we loaded up the van, we started our trip to Oxford and Brasenose College.  After about an hour of driving in the British countryside, we arrived at the college.  The welcome crew showed us to our rooms and we had some down time to relax and clean-up.  At 1:30 pm the group gathered to eat lunch in the “Medieval Kitchen” dining room.  They served a salad, chicken and rice, and some chips (fries). Then we had some more time to unpack and organize before our walking tour of the northern part of Oxford. Mr. Kendall and Mr. Reid showed us different colleges, parks and even Mr. Kendall’s old middle school. After that we had some time to tour the stores in downtown Oxford before dinner. Tonight we will meet for welcome dinner at the college together, and then we will get some well-deserved sleep.
