Oxford

Yesterday I took a train to Oxford with three friends: Hillary, Kemper, and Becca.
We arrived in Oxford in time for lunch at a small cafe.  Throughout the day we wandered around the old town, exploring the old architecture and city streets.

Here are a couple pictures of one of the campuses in Oxford.
 The round building is a library.


At one point during the afternoon I got together with a good friend of mine from Hendrix who is studying at Oxford for the semester. It was nice to get to see her and catch up a little bit.

We also checked out the covered market. It had almost everything you could possibly need.



Here are Hillary and I being goofy by a field full of cows.

For dinner, we met up with one of Kemper's friends from home who goes to Oxford full time. She is actually doing her entire undergraduate career there. She took us to a nice Italian restaurant where we learned more about the school system here and about her interest in becoming a lawyer.

While we waited for Kemper's friend to get out of a meeting, we had coffee in a cafe down this pretty alley.

Our evening ended with us waiting at the train station for the next train back home. It was a simple day, and a nice break from the noise and pollution of London.
