Our day at Oxford University and city of Oxford

9th July 2006

I had always wanted to see Oxford University and Ken had never seen it either so we had a nice day strolling around the university and town, ended up spending 5 hours there. We walked all around and saw all the different colleges on the university campus and walked around the city too. For lunch we stumbled upon a tiny pub first built in the 1200's and had a nice lunch.

Oxford University is the oldest university in the English speaking world. There is only ONE word for Oxford University and that is MAGNIFICENT!! The old historical buildings are gorgeous!!! It was a wonderful experience actually seeing this fabulous university that I had always heard of and never knew I could actually take a walk around its historical and lovely campus.

Here is a link you can put in your search and read a bit about it.

Oxford is about 3 1/2 hours south of where we live so by the time we got home it was 7pm and we were too pooped to pop but had had a really nice and beautiful day. Hope you all enjoy strolling around Oxford with us. I will describe some photos but most are simply different buildings on the university campus. ANY questions, feel free. MOST OF THE PHOTOS HAVE A DESCRIPTION OF SOME SORT UNDER IT.
