observatory and bbq at st. hugh's...

Thursday afternoon, one of my classmates organized a tour the Radcliffe Observatory which is located at Green College. The observatory is not in use anymore, but in it’s heyday was one of the finest observatories in the United Kingdom. The building is still very impressive, even without any telescopes in it anymore!

After the tour, we were heading back towards the city center when we passed a pub with this sign out front. Now, who can resist a sign that says 'It's Pimm's O'Clock'?? Not many of us, I tell you. About six of us were compelled to stop for a little while to sit at the picnic table outside of the pub and drink a few pitchers of Pimm's. Mmmmmm, I just never seem to get tired of that stuff. ;)

In the evening, the MBAs who are at St. Hugh’s College (there are about 20 of them), hosted a barbeque for about 100 people. Mother nature decided to remind us that even though it is June, we still chose to live in England, and the weather was about 60 degrees and rainy… hmmm. Regardless, we had a great time, ate plenty of yummy food, and drank, of course, some more Pimm's.
