Traditions

Yesterday we took the train up to Oxford. Larisa kindly showed us around town. 


Oxford is very beautiful. It also has a lot of traditions. Maggie asks a lot of questions about why things happen and the answer in Oxford is frequently tradition. The consequences of being around for nearly a thousand years. 


We did the Mouse Hunt at the Pitt Rivers museum. It was a bit hit. 


We walked about, had lunch at the Eagle and Child where Tolkien and Lewis used to hang out, and got a tour of the Bodleien Library. Since Larisa works there, we got to see some of the less public nooks and crannies. 


We also had a spot of tea and put Larisa in the stocks. 


Maggie did a lot of running around and drank her tea out of a saucer. She was particularly impressed by the tunnels under the library. Thanks so much to Larisa for showing us around!

Then we headed back for our final night in London.
