Oxford and all that Jazz

So another week, and another blog post as a result.  The weekdays are getting pretty standard at this point, so let's skip to the fun part.  This Saturday I went on a day trip to Oxford and the Cotswolds.  I had to get up far too early to catch the coach we took, but I slept a fair amount on the bus to make up for it.  The Cotswolds are a pretty sleepy region west of London where lots of rich people have homes to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.  Post-industrialization it seems to thrive largely off tourism and light industry.

The second stop was none other than Oxford University, home of 39 different colleges that come together to make the oldest university in England.  I got to see the dining room that Hogwarts' is based on, where Lewis Carroll took Alice, and one of the most impressive libraries on Earth. And fudge.

And to wrap it all up I went to a free jazz concert at the equivalent of the Lincoln Center on Sunday for free, because London is awesome like that.

Because I've been neglecting this bit for a while, here they are, from more than a month back: pictures.
