Monday we started off the day with a walking tour of our new home of Oxford. We saw the infamous Radcliffe Camera and a Harry Potter film site. We were then inducted into the Bodleian Library. That night, we had our first Formal Dinner. We met our Oxford dons and headed out to the lawn for our new favorite drink, Pimms (still have not figured out exactly whats in it). I can't say I tried the duck confit that was served at dinner, but the experience was nonetheless something out of a Harry Potter dining hall scene. Afterwards, we went down to the Trinity pub where we met some interesting kids from some of the northern schools that are studying here as well. Less than impressed, we left and made our way to Kings Arm, a local pub. I never knew there was a difference between a bar and a pub. However, I was informed a pub is short for "public house" where they serve food as well. They also tend to close early, which I'm definitely not used to.
