This majestic city

The sun is setting over Oxford. Midnight blues fuse down into yellows, the hues silently sinking into the Bodleian and Sheldonian.

I can't help but feel inspired. (And a little smug about having what can only be the best room view in the city.)

How many great people have wandered these streets before me? Laboured over books in the Bodleian, and graduated in the Sheldonian? How many great people are walking through them now? Right now?

If I could use just one word to define this majestic city, it would be this: potential. Oxford is home to awe-inspiring potential: the young adults who will become our team players, our leaders, our world class academics, our authors, our businessmen and women, our NGO directors, our politicians and our prime ministers.

I'm going to take my work to the Duke Humfrey's Library in the Bodleian and join them.

so, as i've just seen, you ake a new blog for every destination in summer??

that's not a bad idea, but i'll write all my life in the same blog, jejeje.

i'm spanish and i think the photos from india are amazing. i love that country. maybe i'll be there in may (i'm still trying)

congratulations for the photos.

with my group of friends, we had a pink blog (it's not very normal for a group of spanish guys who loves travelling, eating, beer, parties and so...) but it's being rebuilded in a different place, so it's awfully white now... i prefered the pink one.

we have a pink t-shirt with our names on the back and i love it...

ok, bye.
