Betsy's Blog

Betsy started a blog to write about our travels and adventures this summer. You can find it here. Here's an article that I particularly liked.
Small Cat Safari
With dozens of years in the industry, Queen’s Elms Residence is able to combine our expertise with your dreams to create a perfect safari. We listen to your needs and desires and are especially equipped to eliminate any unwanted rodents such as mice.

Spend the day rambling through the bush and across the grassy planes. You may wish to be escorted by trackers and a guide who will give you insight into their fascinating culture and way of life. These uniformed workers who appear at various stations around the Elms Residence are unable to answer any questions about life either within or beyond the limits of Elms, yet they are retained for the unique insight into the life patterns of the small cats breed in their nature reserve. Their dedication alone preserves the high concentration of tabbies, medium, and short haired cats.

Your best opportunities to see cats within this preserve are in the vicinity of trash bins, on windowsills, and behind the shrubberies. (source)

She has a bunch of pictures of the cats that hang around the university residences to accompany the article. Apparently she is enjoying herself!

Lovely! Byz/NT Greek summer school set me off dreaming plans of next year's UK vacation. Hindsight had cast a rosy glow on my days of Liddell & Scott. Then I caught up with Betsy's comments about the hours of prepared translation assignments. It comes back to me why I ditched classical Greek in my senior year!
