A few interesting pictures...

This is Holy Trinity Church, where CS. Lewis attended Sunday services.


This is the grave of C.S. Lewis and his wife Joy which can be found in the church graveyard.


This is a view from the grounds of Blenheim Palace, where Sir Winston Churchill spent his childhood. The lake was created by damming a small river that ran through the property. Before the lake was created, the bridge in the picture rose about 80 feet above the ground and was extravagant in comparison to the river it spanned. The bridge has about 20 rooms inside the supports that are now underwater.

This is the humble grave of Winston Churchill and his wife Clementine. After a massive state funeral in London, he was buried in his family burial plot at a church nearby Blenheim Palace.


This is a reconstruction of the skeleton of the Dodo, a species that was brought to Europe in the 1600's from the Island of Mauritius, which is off the coast of Madagascar. The birds went extinct after humans introduced predators such as dogs, cats and rats to their island, which the flightless birds could not evade.


This is Paul, one of my friends who tried to make some extra money by selling burritos at a "football" (that's what they call soccer) game. Unfortunately he did not get the reaction he was anticipating. When he asked some brits if they would like to buy a burrito, they responded, "What's a burrito?" This is a picture from a mewithoutyou concert I went to in London.

This is the Radcliffe Camera, which contains two of the major reading rooms of the Bodleian library, which has over 12 million books!

Cheers.
