Hello Burlington!

Its so much hotter in the US than it has been all summer in the UK!
We have been swimming and smoking many cigarettes. The wind is strong, but a welcome distraction from the sun that beats us with her hot rays...
Last night I dreamed about peanut butter! What on earth does that signify?
The lake has been blue blue with the layers of mountai
ns behind...as Heather and I discussed yesterday, it is a different kind of beauty from the ocean, but no less stunning.
On Thursday, I am moving to Monroe street, which is far better n
eighborhood than the one in which I currently reside. Fall is certainly in the air. At night, the crispness startles us with its harsh contrast from the summer heat during the day. I can't wait for the trees to turn and the flowers to change...oh, fall! How I love your flaming colors!

I've been listening to an amazing amount of Hip-Hop recently. Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, DJ Bassnectar, Talib Kweli...not really my usual picks but I would be lying if I said the stuff hasn't been doing me so right. Also, I woke up this morning to the neighbors playing some lovely blues...a pleasant way to awaken as the morning light streams through the open window...

Love,
Willow~

Goodbye

Goodbye Oxford!
Today is my last day in Oxford. My flight leaves at 6:05p
m from Heathrow airport in London and I will arrive in Boston, MA at 8:20pm (haha! I love the way time zones work!). It is sad to leave this place. Oxford has a piece of my soul, I think. The tree in the Grove has a bit of me and maybe something will grow from it. The people have been so wonderful, and the amount of knowledge that I have gained is incredible. Pictures of my favorite things:
