day-trip: Oxford, Warwick Castle (and passing mention of Stratford-on-Avon)

[cellio]

I enjoyed this day-long bus tour. Our first stop was Oxford, where the university is made up of 32 individual colleges. Our guide told us that students apply to Oxford and are assigned to colleges, though I think applicants can indicate preferences. Many lectures are open to the entire university, and according to our guide you can study most

I prefer my castles ruined: but that is one very fine ceiling you have there!

I prefer my castle interiors to match their exteriors in period and style, yes, but I understand why we don't always get what we want. :-)

I realized I've been forgetting to comment to your travel posts. I really like them. :)

Thanks! This is the last batch of pictures (for this trip, anyway).

Should you happen to get back to Oxford, the tourist office has a bunch of brochures of different themed walking tours. I did one having to do with Lewis Carroll, for example.

Thanks -- good to know! I would have liked to have more time to walk around Oxford.
