PUNTING!

On Tuesday, July 27, we went punting on the River Isis! (In oxford, the Thames River is known as the Isis River...don't ask me why, but that's the way it is! ha!)

For Punting, in Oxford, you stand on the back of the boat and you use the pole to guide yourself. I started out punting and then Karma took over. She is the Assistant Program coordinator- and she's pretty much awesome. She turned into Ninja Karma! Enjoy the pics!


OK, so we cheated- we had to use the oar in the boat to balance us out. The pole ends up slightly angled at all times, thus pushing the boat in one direction- thus the crashing into the wall. lolz. Anyway- it was fun! and: No one in our boat fell in! :-)
The "Wild" geese that hang out on the river bank. I think they watch us for entertainment.

We are being watched: apparently we are the afternoon's entertainment!

Magdalen (maudlin) College from the River! (This is where C.S. Lewis taught)

Ninja Karma!
Cheers from the River Isis!
