Took a bus to Oxford this morning. I dozed on the bus for a
bit because I was so tired, but we got there and
got hot chocolate from Costa because
it was pretty cold in Oxford. It was delicious. It was more of a dark chocolate
flavor and it was wonderful. We had decided that we would wander around Oxford
and look at the J.R.R. Tolkien stuff because he taught there. So, we headed
over to a college that he taught at and afterwards wandered around the park at Christ’s
Church. It was big and beautiful. It was so funny because they were super
obsessive about keeping people off the grass. Their chain around the grass was
more deadly looking than most and they had ‘Keep off the grass’ signs
everywhere. Even the ducks stayed off the grass. It was funny. We just wandered through the park and ended up
at a river.
Once we got back the main street we found the music museum,
unfortunately it wasn’t open yet, so we decided to go find Tolkien’s house and
grave and then come back. So on our way to all of that we stopped at a super
awesome second hand book store. I didn’t buy anything though. We also went into
the Old Sweet Shoppe from Alice in
Wonderland because Lewis Carroll also spent time at Oxford.
