"Mission: to boldly go where no man has gone before". Actually, I'm just going where no Childers has gone before - Spain! But I'm still really excited about it.
We leave the houses in about two hours. Then it's on to Barcelona, Toledo, Madrid and Avila. I'm probably most looking forward to Avila. We'll be there on St. Teresa of Avila's feast day. It will a wonderfully unique experience and I believe this trip will be both educationally and spiritually formative.
Unfortunately, I have to do a presentation to the group for the honours colloquium. My group had to make a brochure about Barcelona and we are basically the tour guides for that city. As it turns out, I'm not a huge fan of talking in front of people, and I'll be using a microphone on a coach. Ahh!
Speaking of "ahh!", I got another parking ticket yesterday. My first two parking tickets and I'm not even in the same country as my car. Curious as to how that might happen? I shall point you to my father. In addition, my bank is really giving me a hard time. I know that everything they do is to protect my money, but it is certainly getting to be a hassle.
But on to sweeter things. Yesterday we baked some more of the apples. Once again, they were delicious. It's truly feeling a lot like fall over here. I love it, though I feel like I kind of missed out on the summer. Oxford in the fall is beautiful. The weather has been very crisp, cool but not rainy.
