clivedon
September 16, 2010
Earlier this evening I decided to finally make a travel index to group each city I've visited by country. Although this was an embarrassingly long process, it's done and I'm quite proud. However, this index now highlights my laziness because it now shows everywhere I've visited abroad- including places I kinda sorta forgot to blog about. So to begin the catch-up series, this is Clivedon, England:
In May, our program took a trip to Clivedon because its grounds used to host the Stanford in Britain program prior to 1982. Seriously? The gardens are massive- The building in the fourth picture is where the students slept and had their classes... and now it's a 5 star hotel. As much as I loved Oxford, it would have been so cool to have lived in this mansion/manner/monstrosity of a residence for a few months! It would have been like living in Pemberley.

Ohhh..I love browsing through people's travel photos, as I've never been to England, even better! It does have a Pemberly air to it - it would be fun to take strolls through the gardens while reciting P&P quotes -- though this might be overkill..hehehe..
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS. I need to plant some flowers and cheer my apt up. Seeing all your lovely bright photos makes me have wanderlust!
ReplyDeletep.s. My sister and her fiancee are driving me up to SF on Sat to take their engagement photos... I was wondering if you knew anywhere in the area that sold film for Polaroids? I figure there has to be some places in the big cities (SF, LA, NYC) that still have a few around? Or maybe some good cheap thrift stores we should hit up?
Hey Angela- I wish I could help you out; I usually get mine online because its cheaper than in stores. As for thrift stores, there are really great boutiques/clothes trading companies all along Haight Street. Sometimes its a little pricey but more often than not you can get lucky. Other than that I'd just keep my eyes peeled to Goodwills and Salvation Armys- they're all over the city and always have great prices :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love being able to visit all these wonderful places I have never been through your blog!
