This morning we got out the door around 1030 – much later than we’d planned but it’s impossible to get a group of people out the door. But we went to Oxford today! Chery is brilliant and talked to Dr. Tate in advance and found out the cool things to see and had a map etc. so weren’t even lost today! They filmed the great hall and the library of Harry Potter here, so it was really fun because I felt like I was actually at HOGWARTS! It’s an awesome school! So old and beautiful – it felt like we were really at a castle. What would it be like to go to school there? Too bad I’m not brilliant so I’ll never find out…
But we went to New College, the theater designed by Christopher Wren that’s name escapes me right now, Christ’s Church, and the library – except we could really go in so we only saw the alice in wonderland exhibit there, and shopped. The theater has “perfect acoustics” so chery san a lovely solo there, and there was beautiful stained glass at all the chapels. And I walked where ron, Hermione, and Harry, AKA Daniel ratcliff and emma Watson have walked! It was me, Jacqui, Cheri, Hilary, Maggie, and Edan that went. It was such a fun group! I’m so glad we went!
Tonight was kind of a bust – I really really wanted to go to a dance thing they had a Trafalgar square – its some world dance thing (I’m picturing the folk fest…) that’s been going all around the UK and it’s finale was tonight. But everyone was SO SLOW (partly my fault) and we missed the whole thing by the time we got there. :( I still don’t feel like I wasted the day – it was busy and fun and I’m all tuckered out.
