November catchup, 2008
Please excuse my blog-neglect. Here are some pics from recent outings in Nov and Oct (in reverse chronological order). This past weekend I went to Oxford to hangout with smart people and learn a few things. It was great engaging bright young minds in conversations of various topics including apologetics, economics, and medicine. Cool part was some of these chats took place in the pub where CS Lewis and JR Tolkien hung out.
Pic 1: Sunrise on Keble College, Oxford
Pic 2: Oxford at dusk
Pic 3: The text reads "Primary mirror for Newtonian reflecting telescope by William Herschel, 1795"
Pic 4: Bikes bikes and more bikes in Oxford. It reminds me of China!
Pic 5: Here's one for the PH crew. Why's there no handle on this water pump?? (I had to visit this location to pay homage to my public health ancestors.)
Pic 6: CMF Ireland retreat in Greystones, County Wicklow
Pic 7: CMF retreat prayer time
Pic 8: Interesting signage at the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin. This library contains New Testament manuscripts dated around 100AD, discovered in Egypt.
Pic 9: Day at the beach w/ Cork friends. My w810i cam/phone at its finest.

Jealous, jealous me...haunting the haunts of Lewis and Tolkien!
Thanks for your Irish Writers postcard! You are one of the few remaining snail-mailers...so nice to get letters without plastic windows once in a while!
It was a nice rainbow indeed! I believe this picture was taken from under my umbrella, by the way. :) Hope things aren't too hectic in Cork town. S
IAN! I just hopped back on the blogging world...or atleast I'm planning on it. Wow..time flies..I thought you must still be in Angola not realizing that it's already December. errr yeah!
were those intellectual chats at the pub before or after i came in...because i only remember playing Big2. hahaha. probably after.
before - C.So is very on fire to discuss apologetics with anyone who's got a set of ears.
