Walking to Mesopotamia

This afternoon we, as in our whole house, so 24 of us, journeyed over to the other house. Jonathan, our junior dean lead us there. First we went through the park, and then we went over a bridge into a meadow. The meadow, until about 15 years ago, was a known sunbathing place for Oxford professors. Nude sunbathing as you would have it. It is right next to a river and when men would punt women up the river the ladies, approaching this certain meadow, would have to get out, walk around it, and then rejoin the punt further up the river. Anyway, after the meadow you maneuver through an iron gate and proceed up the path. On each side of you there are two rivers, on is higher than the other but they and both slow and peaceful. Along the path are blackberries and unlike in Tuolumne county right now they are ripe and ready to eat.

On our way home, a smaller group this time, it started to rain a little (big surprise) and we watched the ducks, swim on the calm river, as the rain was making rings on the water. We also walked through a field with narnian lamposts...and I caught this picture of a little girl and her mother.
