Celebration and Plague, Intermingled

The trip to Oxford was fantastic. Truly wonderful.

I also don't recommend taking eight-hour plane flights twice in five days. Unless special circumstances demand it, of course, as they did.

I have plenty of pictures--including one of a celebrity shark--but it will be a few days because I'm sick (I believe I may have been sick already before I flew over). I powered through it, including almost 30 miles of walking in three days, but now I'm wiped out.

Sharks. Strings hanging from ceilings. Hot water. All these things will be discussed, as well as plenty of pictures from Oxford, which is an entirely unlikely combination of super-intelligent people, various citizenry, and Harry Potter tourists.

Complicated.

Oh, and Eli 24. 4 now his has Master's degree, after a ceremony which has been performed for over five centuries. Also, the University of Oxford was in existence several centuries before the founding of the Aztec Empire. 

That was not part of the ceremony.
