Oxford (The City not the Circus)


Sunday, Wells gave me a behind-the-scenes tour of the Oxford Colleges! 
What a marvelous place!

Imagine living amongst the following:


Comic faces and buildings inscribed in Latin
This guy looks like a cross between Tarzan and Julius Caesar 


Musicians practicing cellos and ornately-painted harpsichords
(inside cathedral "chapels")


Gorgeous libraries and ancient books...


Dining halls straight out of Hogwart's


Old boats and bridges alongside the banks of the Thames


And peacocks that come to dinner...

Yay peacocks! Did you see some of the buildings they used for Harry Potter while you were there? When I went a few years ago they were actually filming in town, it was quite amusing all the chaos that surrounded it!
