belinda drives.
glad i'm not driving.
gorgeous old victorian homes.
evidence of belinda's existential phase of youth!
when belinda first told me the name of this bridge, i heard the "bridge of size." and i thought to myself, "but its not really that big!" then i read the little sign and realized my mistake... the bridge of sighs - oh! that name made much more sense when i heard the story of the original bridge of sighs in italy. still, i dont understand why the british didnt give this one their own, less depressing name!
a couple characters in front of the bodleian library
a rather large key hole!
annoying uber-tourist!
more to come...

What awesome photos... And is England sunny and blue skies all the time or something? :)
NO! i just happened to get a sunny weekend with clear night skies during my shirt visit. this quick trip doubled the amount of sunglass-wearing opportunities i've had in the month and a half i've been in england!
Did you notice that nobody pays any attention to those chevron signs?
When I was there I think we just called it Hertford Bridge (it's in Hertford College). I think the Bridge of Sighs name maybe is just Cambridge envy - the one in Cambridge stands up to comparison with the one in Venice (not that I've seen the latter) rather better, being over water for one thing.
