Whew. I hope we didn’t overdo it today with Dad. But a fun day. I went for a morning walk/run on Cuckoo Lane (the alley path that runs along the Jenkins’ property) up to Bury Knowles Park. I ran a little. I woke Dad up at 9:15(!). When we were all ready, we took the bus into Oxford.
First we met Tiffany at the Covered Market to drop off her bag.
Tiff bought some lamb at M. Feller & Daughter.
We saw the oldest ham in the world.
We climbed the tower of University Church clock tower for a wonderful panoramic view of Oxford.
We then had a delicious lunch in the cafe there. I had a goat cheese quiche, and Dad had Cornish cod.
Then we took a bus tour of the city with an audio guide that was informative.
Next we went to Blackwell’s bookstore, which I remembered from my trip in college. Dad got a book of Norse mythology he had been interested in. Ed and I got an Oxford University hoodie for Lincoln.
After an afternoon coffee, we walked over to The History of Science Museum, a science museum that had a lot of old (very old) instruments and a blackboard that Einstein used in a lecture here, and bedpans used in the development of penicillin.
Next we met Tiffany at Christ Church for Evensong (choir service).
Then we went to La Cucina for a nice Italian dinner.
Overall, despite buses, a lot of walking and steps!
