you asked for it

British Word of the Day: juicy bits - Small, drinkable fruit fragments found in citrus juice. (American's pulp.) eg: "I don't like orange juice with juicy bits; buy the kind without next time."

Pictures, you say?

Good man. You know just how to ask. And I know just how to answer:

New friends Brit and Taylor pose in front of the Radcliffe Camera--my new reading spot.

At The Chequers Pub. (L to R: me, Daena, Rebekah, Anna)

Rebekah and me outside of Oxford Castle.

Christ Church Cathedral.

Painted glass window of Jonah and a not-so-eastern looking Nineveh.



Stained glass series (Christ Church)

Christ Church Cathedral Ceiling. Alliteration!

Best Photo of the Day: Christ Church's steeple.

The Great Dining Hall. (Free breakfast for season ticket holders--whatever that means.)

The East side outside of Christ Church.

A blue door & me.

Chinatown! (London's, of course.)

Jane Eyre awaits me.
Took a half-hour nap today, had some tea and digestives, and I'm set to go for another evening.

Blessings and cheers!

  1. Hey Marissa! Dad and i just finished our Sunday coffee.(still juice for Dad)We're enjoying your posts and loved the pictures! You will have so much to show us when we come! Enjoy your reading, forced reading is never as fun but has to happen. Have a great week soaking up all that culture and knowledge!
    Love, Mom.

  2. Which geographic location of the Camera do you prefer?

  3. "juicy bits" reminds me of "knobbly bits" -- both mistaken for "naughty bits".

    I bet they get their juice from Spain... so much more exotic than Arizona or Florida.

  4. Nice photos; maybe the juice comes from . . . . Casablanca!

  5. Eric and I have a strong disagreement over Upper Camera vs. Lower Camera, so we need you to cast the deciding vote. I am almost certain that I will lose that argument, so I will suggest another reading location - the Philosophy reading room in the New Bod. Generally deserted and large tables - good place for a read, although sort of depressing.
