Hello Everyone, and Welcome.
Thank you for visiting my blogsite! If you have read the article (which was published in the Dalles Chronicle on Friday) and are interested in the progress of our trip, or are just simply curious--you are always welcome to come and view our updates here.
Today, we (myself and my daughter) completed our 12-hour flight to London, England. After we arrived, we took the bus to Manchester College of Oxford. Located here on the Manchester grounds is a small, but beautiful church with stained-glass windows for which it is famous. I promise to give you more detail as to who made these windows later.
We attended the reception today at 2:00 PM (London time) and met a few of the other attendees of the Women's Rights Conference--all of whom are very educated people from various fields of work (most of which are centered around colleges and teaching). Their hospitality is wonderful here, and at 7:00 this evening we ate in the dining hall with all of the attending men (whose numbers are the fewest in this conference) and women, as well as the other guests.
Tomorrow, guests will have the option to either sit in on the conference or take one of the tours in the morning. I believe Torey will go on the morning tour while I attend the conference (she will sit in later as well as when I am to present my own work on Thursday).
Well, thank you for visiting, and please feel free to do so anytime.

I am glad to know that you reached England safely. Thanks for the descriptions of your trip so far. Torey's account of the architecture helped me imagine your surroundings.
BTW, can you put a link to The Dalles Chronicle article on your blog?

Hi! So glad to hear you had a good trip. The Women's forum sounds wonderful.
Note to Paula - maybe you could send the link for the Dalles Chronicle article in the blog comment section(?)
I enjoy hearing about the Oxford project adventures! Best wishes, JC Andring : )
Tess:
What an amazing group of scholars to work with on such a topic. Just the short summaries you shared are filled with powerful ideas that touch me, too. Enjoy your trip. Am looking forward to hearing much more.

Torey says: Hey guys! Thanks for posting. ^^
Tess says: We are now in London, and it is absolutely beautiful. British Museum looks like Parthenon full of Egyptian artifacts.
Tess, I am wondering if you attended the Oxford Round Table under the mistaken impression that it is somehow affiliated with Oxford University? It is in fact a Kentucky-based for-profit corporation that simply rents out the facilities at Oxford.
Which is not to say that it might no be a worthwhile event. I am just wondering if you thought it was affiliated with Oxford?
