I know, I know, I have been bad this year about keeping up to date. Things have just been chaotic around here, but I should have some time either this afternoon or early tomorrow to post. But a quick update:
Last weekend, Friday through Monday was the trip to Scotland by train. Arrived late Friday, then on a bus tour of the Highlands on Saturday and Sunday, then in Edinburgh on Sunday night (with a ghost tour) and then the castle on Monday before an afternoon train home.
Tuesday was back to classes, but I went out to dinner to Jamie's Italian, a restaurant owned here in Oxford by the English chef Jamie Oliver (aka the Naked Chef...and no he is not naked).
Wednesday was off to Stratford for Shakespeare's Hamlet, starring Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard from Star Trek, Dr. Xavier from the Xmen movies) and David Tennant (the new Dr Who) and it was quite good.
Yesterday was the last day of classes and much grading. Today is finals in Civ 2 and more grading. Tonight is the final dinner with the students. Tomorrow lots of people are off and about for the day, but I am staying in Oxford to get some souvenir shopping done and some touristy stuff.
Sunday morning its off to the airport and home on Sunday evening.
Until a more complete post, with pictures I finally uploaded to my hard drive on my laptop, that should bring you up to date.
Matt
