Oxford

On Saturday my schoolmates and I took a day trip to Oxford. It took roughly an hour and a half to get there by coach bus. I signed up for the trip alone, and wasn't quite sure who else would be going. Thank goodness Jessica was there! She's my other neighbor. We decided to walk around together.
When we first got off the bus we had a tour guide that was going to take us around and show us the sites for an hour and a half. We saw many colleges. We ended the tour at Christ college. In the main hall of Christ college is where the dining hall of Harry Potter was filmed! UNFORTUNATELY, the hall was closed for the day!!!! Just our luck of course. I guess there was a wedding there or something? Anyway Rachel went another day and took pics of it. She said it's not as large as it appears in the movie. I still would've liked to see it. =/
Jessica and I walked across the street to a store called "Alice's Shop". It was pretty cool. Everything was related to Alice in Wonderland. I bought some "Mad Hatter Tea". haha. They had lollipops, watches, key chains, cups, pillows. When I say everything I mean everything.
As we continued to walk down the street, we saw groups of people dressed in costume. They would gather around in an area and perform. It was pretty nice. I'll post videos later. We asked around and I guess it was a beginning of Spring dance? They weren't completely sure.
Anyway, we went to the pub where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien "hung out". Haha. Thought that was pretty cool!!
Around 4pm we headed back. I'm missing a lot of detail in this but eh, i'm tired and have a paper due tomorrow! Just wanted to give you a bit of an update.
