When I found out we were going to have an outing and spend the day in Oxford, I was so excited!! After we explored where C.S. Lewis lived, we headed to downtown Oxford. Of course, by that time we were hungry and headed to a couple of pubs to enjoy some food. I went with a few of my friends to the pub in the photo above, King’s Arms, and had the best bangers and mash I have ever had.

After lunch, I grabbed my camera and went on a photo walk, exploring as much of the city as possible. Leaving the pub, I looked to my right and saw this cool street lined with pastel-colored buildings and cool doors; of course, I headed that way first.

I walked wherever my feet took me, seeing as much of the Oxford beauty that I could see. Thankfully the rain had pretty much stopped that afternoon; it was just a bit cold.

There were so many brightly colored businesses, cobblestone alleys, and much more. It would have been cool to have seen more, but with the short time, I felt that I saw quite a bit.

The meet-up point for my fellow seminar friends was at the famous local bookstore, Blackwell’s. When I first passed by it while on my photo walk, I was going to take a photo, but there was such a large crowd of people in front that I waited to photograph it. But of course I forgot later on. It was seriously the biggest and coolest bookstore I’ve ever been to in my life. There were so many levels, stairs, and books everywhere. You would probably need a few days to look through the entire shop.

Until next time, Oxford.
