Okay, I've decided I can't do it anymore. Trying to write about events that took place three and four days ago is just too confusing and I'm getting more and more tired with each passing day, so I am going to give you the abbreviated version of what took place on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week.
Tuesday - traveled to Oxford (I don't like travel days!)
Wednesday day - Walked around Oxford; Magdalen College (where C.S. Lewis taught for a while) was closed so we didn't get to walk around there. Saw the church where he delivered his famous sermon "The Weight of Glory" and had lunch at The Eagle and Child - a well-known gathering place for The Inklings
Wednesday night - traveled to London
Thursday - Cheryl (my mom) arrived and we rushed through Westminster Abbey (a huge crowd of people) and then took Caleb to see Despicable Me 2 in 3D for his birthday. He got to choose both our lunch and dinner locations, one being pizza and the other being Chinese (yummy dumplings!)
Friday - up at 5:30am to catch the train to Paris. We had a lovely train ride over; the attendant gave Caleb some extra chocolate crossiants because we told her it was his birthday yesterday. Arrived and hopped in our vehicle to take us to our hotel. Getting there was a nightmare! Took us almost 30 minutes to find the entryway...I felt bad for our driver, but at this point, I think we were all exhausted. Checked-in, grabbed some lunch (French food is very different than English food - who would have thought?) and tried to get some rest in the afternoon. We were able to have dinner with a friend and colleague of Tim's (Thomas Yost) and then it was off to bed. Tomorrow will begin our "touring" of this beautiful city!
