Welcome to my summer 2008 travel blog. Like last year's experiment, this blog will recount some of the important events and odd occurrences that take place during the 2008 Florida Tech Summer Oxford program. Once again we will be staying at the centre city campus of Jesus College, Oxford for the first two weeks and then moving to flats about a mile north of town at Steven's Close (off campus housing for the college). The trip will include four day weekends in Ireland, Paris and Scotland, as well as day trips to Bath and Stonehenge, Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds, and my super special outing to London at the beginning of July to see the Tower and a few other exhibits in the process. It might even involve me spending a few pounds (actually a lot of pounds) and staying overnight before coming home to Oxford the next day.
Besides my thoughts and views on the trip, I will post some of the pictures I take to help you visualize what the day's events are about.
Invite anyone you know who might not have received an invite to read and participate in this blog. Feel free to comment if you have a blogger account. You can always send me email at the usual addresses and I welcome feedback positive or negative.
Now its off to run last minute errands, teach the end of my summer session here in Melbourne, then spend a few days in Orlando before flying out on Saturday afternoon. At 3pm Saturday, June 28th, my duties as assistant professor and assistant coordinator of the Florida Tech Oxford summer program begins.
Wish me luck!
My adventures teaching, chaperoning and supervising 33 Florida Tech students as they learn and travel in Oxford, England.
