A group of students while visiting Oxford. The lady on the left is bus two's tour guide, Cathy.
We arrived back at our hotel just a few minutes ago after a long day away.
This morning was an early breakfast at 6:30 then an hour and a half drive to Stonehenge. We spent about an hour there, then another hour and a half drive to Oxford. We toured several colleges and Harry Potter fans were delighted with a tour of Christchurch's great hall. Narnia fans were also delighted with glimpes of the lampost, lion and the inspiration for Thomas.
We toured Oxford on our own until 4:00 p.m., then headed back to our hotel to get ready for a 7:00 dinner, then the New Year's Eve party beginning at 8:30 p.m.
Tomorrow's the big day and the real reason we're hear. We hope everyone gets a chance to watch the broadcast at 6:00 a.m. your time on channel 21.
Mr. Nielsen gave a radio interview with KFOR 1240 at 7:45 a.m. Lincoln time. He was swamped with duties on Monday and had technical issues with the cell phone Tuesday. I believe there will be another interview at 7:45 a.m. your time on Friday, so be sure to listen.
We saw a lot of shopping bags on the bus today, so we're definitely helping the English economy.
I have some new photos to post yet tonight from different groups to try to get more kids on the photo page.
Happy New Year everyone!
