Okay, I promise to:
1. Post pictures.
2. Say important things.
3. Actually inform people that I have a blog.
Aside from that....we went on a pretty cool tour today. After a lecture on Pre-Raphaelite Art, which is pretty awesome, we toured a lot of it in Oxford. Rosetti, Morris, Holman Hunt, and Millais are all over this place. My favourite was definitely Hunt's, though, with The Light of the World. So much symbology and expression in that painting, it was awesome. A lot of architecture, both medeival and pre-raphaelite, is around Oxford too. Not to mention classical...but blegh. This city is home to the roots of so many cultural, spiritual and artistic movements.
Heading to the Globe Theatre tomorrow to see Shakespeare's As You Like It, should be pretty fun. Then on Thursday we have a tour of Oxford with a focus on Shakespeare... There's a lot to do, and it will involve a loooot of walking. Looking forward to it!
