My trip to Oxford

Hi, everybody! I have made it all the way to Europe. I will be based in Oxford, England, for the foreseeable future. From here, I'll have the opportunity to travel all over Europe -- and beyond!

Oxford is home to the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Oxford's first colleges were founded way back in the 13th century, and teaching has been taking place here since several hundred years before that. It's a lot of fun for me to be in a city with so many students.

Here is a picture of me in front of the Radcliffe Camera, which is one of Oxford's most recognizable buildings. Today, it is part of the university's library system. Isn't it a funny shape for a library?
