Around Oxford

So this has been a very very long day. Laura and I only slept for about 4 hours on the plane ride so it has been quite a struggle to stay awake all day. On the flip side we walked around Oxford all day and got to see several colleges under the Oxford University umbrella. In one college we saw a Cluisters of where Harry Potter was filmed and another where the great hall for Harry Potter. We learned how the colleges and towns folk used to fight each other around the 1500s to the point where folks would burn the students and continue to eat them! They really just did not get along back in the day. We also saw what is called punting where you get to sit in a boat and have someone push you down a river with a long stick/rod. Here are a couple of photos of the day....
