Moonlight becomes her

In the middle of researching for a paper (ok, and checking my e-mail and facebook and wishing I had more messages) one of my housemates suggested a walk around the block for some fresh air. Jonathan came with us and we ended up seeing some amazing parts of Oxford all under a lovely night's sky. Our tour included the famous Dragon school, the oldest post box in the area, the only nude bronze statue in the city and the house where Tolkien lived. What an enchanting place! It's so easy to imagine writing of hobbits in an ivy covered Oxford home. I think more people should see this city by the stars.

I would love to see it. We need to arrange this.

I always feel everyone should have at least 2 comments so that the blog doesn't say "1 Comments". At first I thought "that mail took forever to get there. I sent it when I was in the USA" which I guess was not that long ago, but it feels like it.
I don't know that you can see the stars in Seville. I haven't seen any.
I loved hearing about the library. that sounds wonderful.
