Oxford cont . . .










Awesome a cappella called the Yellow Jackets from Rochester, NY.


The also awesome Oxford Belles.






So Harry left his keys in his room and got locked out. He went to get someone to open the door, but it was going to take an hour, so he had Tebben jump in through the window (as he was on crutches). Unfortunately, we got caught doing this, so Harry got in a bit of trouble. Fortunately, we were leaving the next day, so we weren't found out.


The Ashmolean Museum. Absolutley spectacular, we spent an entire afternoon there. And it's free!




Yummy food, decent prices. We liked.


All dressed up for the Great Hall. Yes, it really is Harry Potter land here.


Some of Harry's friends broke into his room and decided to make a mountain in the middle of it.


 Cool cafe I don't remember the name of. Will get back on that.

Oxford

   After a few days in London, we decided it was time to explore a new city in England. Our friend Harry, a student at Oxford University, offered us a place to stay for a few nights. The only problem: we weren't really allowed to stay overnight there. Or even be on campus without signing in. But when have rules ever stopped us?

We've just sneaked in through the back and are heading out to explore the grounds! A note about Oxford: Outside Harry's dorm, there is a large patch of grass. You are not permitted to walk on this patch of grass. Why, may you ask? Well my dear fellow, it is award winning grass.


There were lots of buskers! This one struck a pose for me.


Bikes!


Canal path we walked on. Future goal: live on a house boat in Europe.




Chemistry car!




Radcliffe Camera.




Royal Wedding fever- even in cake form!

The cake says "Happy Birthday Harry" on the bottom.


Very cool exhibit about deforestation in Africa. All these huge trees on display fell naturally.


Supposedly the oldest cafe in England. I got a traditional english (vegetarian) breakfast of beans, toast, eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms. Yum!

Fournd the old fashioned candy shop!


Nom nom nom.


Convient signs that point in the exact direction you want to go.


Where does this go?
