Cousins reunited!
That didn't last long...Oxford must have sensed all of the planning, list making, and emailing that happened before Rachel arrived, because this city miraculously borrowed some Californian sunshine in time for the big event. It was ridiculously, uncharacteristically beautiful weather, and we took full advantage of all of the sunshine.
Seriously?

And with a view like that, can you really blame her?
Even the adorable baby animals made an appearance for Rachel's visit!
I, for one, was delighted to simply warm my bones in the sunlight, Sound of Music style. Rachel was kind enough to join me.
We had such a fantastic time hiking, visiting tea shops, buying most of Blackwell's classic literature section (Rachel), drinking beers in famous pubs (Rachel and Will) and just hanging out. Honestly, the three of us would have had a wonderful time even if the sun didn't make an appearance all twelve days, but the glorious weather just meant that we could talk and catch up in Oxford's great outdoors, too.
Of course, we did enter indoors for a few must-sees....
Rachel in Hogwarts!!
Even the British coffee showed Rachel some love.
After an incredible 12 day trip, we somehow allowed her to get on the plane and go home... but not before researching all of the nursing opportunities she could have in Oxford. Rachel--you know what you need to do!
