England Day 6

This morning began with hunger!

First thing I did after my shower and shave was a nice English Breakfast downstairs, had to fuel up for Oxford!

To get to Oxford we took:

The subway

A Train

A bus

And more busses throughout the town.

It was very interesting going through a town devoted to scholastic endeavors. It was a lot like Claremont, except for the fact that it had so much more history!

Our first stop on the Double Decker bus was Alice’s Shop, which had a lot of Alice In Wonderland gear. It was amazing to go in that little shop and actually understand everything I was looking at, I appreciated the fact that I read the book earlier in the year.

After that, we walked through a few campuses, and had the best Cream Tea and Scones I had ever had. The Tea I had was called Junsung and it tasted like a bon fire! I know that makes no sense, but trust me, it was bloody brilliant!

The rest of Oxford was just a lot of exploring, more of a relaxing day. We saw Einstein’s chalkboard which had his equation for the expansion of the universe (which I know is complete rubbish, but it was still a very interesting equation, even though I in no way understood it.)

We had a lot of random experiences, one of which being the Pub that CS Lewis and JR Tolken founded… or something like that. It was a great place and felt very scholarly for a pub. We stayed there for a while just talking and sketching and just had a good ol time. We then ventured over to a Gallery across the street which wasn’t particularly interesting (hence why I don’t remember the name.) and then to dinner, to a lovely little park by a pond, and then to the bus that took us to the train which transferred us to the tube, which took us home.

Then some of us guys went down for our nightly pint and discussed the day. I will have to say, a very relaxing day, followed by a relaxing drink and good conversation is awesome, but I don’t think it would be particularly effective in America.

Only in London.
