Today I wanted to go to the large store new the university to pick up a couple of things. I began my journey walking the few blocks of Old Town around my apartment. The local tourist bureau is on the corner. I can take a day trip for the equivalence of $10.00. I am interested to explore the national wildlife preserve on the far side of the bay.
I made my way to the local fitness center that I joined. My body appreciated the familiar feeling of the weight machines and the exer-cycle. After my first time at the gym, I decided to treat myself to dinner. I went up to the restaurant on the twelfth floor of the hotel. the view was interesting and the food was quite good. I had a well seasoned chicken breast, vegetable, coffee and chocolate cake as well as two bottles of water ( they do now serve free tap water) for about $20.00. A much better buy than the hamburger that I had my first week in Oxford for which I paid more.
Now I was ready to take the bus to the shopping area. Waiting at the bus stop, I couldn't remember the number that I needed. I saw a young man speaking English and thought he may be going to the LCC, the English speaking school I will be teaching at. So, when he got on the number 6 bus, I followed him and soon discovered that the number six does not go to the university or the major shopping area I wanted. I now know that number 6 goes to a hotel on the edge of the Baltic Sea. I want to go back when the snow is gone.
