Oxford

Our wonderful friends Sherry and Mark invited us to a trip to Oxford, one of their very favorite places in the world, and also where their daughter attended the very prestigious Oxford University.  It was very sweet of them to share this space that has a special place in their hearts.

We first stopped at a small village outside of Oxford to have some coffee and breakfast, back when Trevor was not completely addicted to the stuff.  The village was beautiful with vines and flowers everywhere and old thatched roof buildings. 

We then drove a short way to Oxford a very busy and bustling city.  In fact we had to park the car at a bus station and take the bus in to town in order to avoid extreme traffic, insanity, and any additional walking.  It was a very private campus, only allowing entrance to students, staff or esteemed nominated scientists.  In fact, their is one building that only permits entrance to those who have been invited based on their scientific achievement, so very few eyes have seen it on the inside. 

We were not able to see inside this area due to graduation taking place, but inside is where the dining room scenes took place in the movie Harry Potter.

It was a wonderful trip and there was such beautiful architecture beyond that which our camera could capture.
