Oxford University students for a day
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: "Hey, Fightin' Tigers," Golden Band from Tigerland
Today, we took the train from Waterloo to Oxford. We arrived at Oxford and it was FREEZING cold. We hopped on a tour bus and double-deckered around the city and Oxford University. We had an awful bus driver and we were the only people on the bus, which made it even more uncomfortale. Otherwise, the day was lovely. Oxford was absolutely gorgeous. The University has some of the oldest buildings and the people were very friendly. We took another bus to Blenheim Palace, the home of Winston Churchill. The palace was actually closed, but we walked around the beautiful grounds and admired the vast number of ducks and sheep (really). My Sperrys were giving me blisters, which kept me from enjoying the end of the trip. The palace, however, was absolutely magnificent! We returned home and went to Harrod's Department store, where I spend $20 on a stuffed animal bear that said Harrod's on it. And that was MARKED DOWN from about $45 originally. Oh well. We then took a cute taxi to Hard Rock Cafe, where we saw gold records of Sting/ The Police and Joe Walsh's guitar! We went home and called it a day. Catherine went to bed, but I stayed up to watch the Sugar Bowl with Kat and Gary. They had recorded it from the North American Sports Network. Probably not the same was seeing it in person with friends, but it was cool to hear British announcers and flattering to think they care about LSU! Went to bed and prepared for another busy day..
