a typical oxford sunday afternoon

this past sunday a few of us decided enough was enough when it came to studying, and went for a gorgeous walk on a beautifully sunny (remember that for later) sunday afternoon. we went on a walk that most of us had never been on and discovered a new part of town.

we walked down paths that looked like narnia, lampposts and all. we fed ducks, we found fields that looked they were from pride and prejudice, we found sticks that looked like wands and played with them.

but my favorite part, was the nook we found. it had started to sprinkle, and at that moment we looked to our right and saw an area covered by trees that would protect us from the rain. so we climbed through the branches and stepped into a little hole in the trees. we could hear the rain falling, but we couldn't feel it.

after a bit, we stepped back out and 20 yards later, we were caught in a downpour with no jackets and no umbrellas. by the time we got home we were a pack of drowned rats, but laughing and ready to spend the rest of the rainy afternoon reading for school. i personally spent it reading The Great Divorce. mm...one of my favorites :]
