I've arrived safe and sound here in Oxford thanks in no small part to those who helped me immensely in my final weeks and days in Canada - thanks so much for all of the packing, shopping, and moral support!

Looking forward to seeing you and Rosa before COP-14.
hey Adam
when are you coming by?
Hey Derek! Much like Marcus I really like the background you selected, and the photos you have taken so far look wonderful!
I can't wait to read your posts as the semester continues! And I am glad the suitcases stayed closed till you reached Oxford!
Have fun blogging,
