Oxford, Day 29: The Last Supper at Dew Drop Inn

I am still in denial that I am leaving Oxford tomorrow morning...

This may or may not be potentially problematic. 

It was a quiet day--I made one last trip downtown to make sure I got souvenirs for everyone back home. Then, came back to the dorm, tried packing, but ended up writing a blog post instead. 

My roommate and I organized one last get together with the other students in Summertown at the Dew Drop Inn. I ordered a Pimms and fish and chips for the last supper in England.

Oxford, Day 1: Staying Awake

The direct flight for Oxford, England departed around 10:00pm from Logan Airport in Boston, MA. Taking into account the time zone change, the flight arrived at London Heathrow Airport at 10:00am.

From there, the student group drove to Oxford by bus and briefly settled in their dorms before heading onto the tour of the area. We went through Summertown and the main downtown, passing a great number of shops, markets, colleges, universities, churches, and other historic monuments that date back hundreds of years ago.

A few snapshots from the day merely show a glimpse of how beautiful Oxford truly is:
