Where I'm staying

It's called the "Highfield Oval." A big oval of grass surrounded by brick buildings for housing and classrooms, plus a dining hall, chapel, and main office building (seen here through the trees in the far background).

Outside the dining hall

Unexpected Walk

On Sunday I went to church and ended up going on a spontaneous walk... for 4 1/2 hours! In my skirt and little dressy shoes! In the woods and fields! It was great. Here are some of the sights.
