An Explorer In Rome: London Spring Break: Part 1

Well, that was a good spring break. It was nice being in a place where I could read all the signs and could ask for help. The only negatives were the cold weather (and a little snow!) and my confusion over which ways cars were coming. I took so many pictures and we saw many, many things so I won't be able to recap them all. But after visiting London, I would love to go back.

We flew out Monday afternoon. Our flight was delayed leaving Rome so we missed our connection in Paris so we got into London about 3 hours later than we were supposed to. But the nice Tube ride made everything better. We got dinner and headed to bed relatively early. We had a full day planned for Oxford on Tuesday. Oxford was beautiful. Getting there was super easy and I'm glad we went. In the morning, we went to the Museum of the History of Science and an exhibit on Persian love and devotion. We had a tour of the town and got to go into one of the colleges. I'm still not 100% sure how the university works, but we got to see Lincoln College. I would love to study at Oxford. The town had many little shops and taverns. We went to the oldest tavern in Oxford for a late lunch. Afterwards, we went to the Ashmolean Museum. There was so much stuff that it was be impossible to see it all. It was very overwhelming. It's an art and archeology museum and amazing that Oxford students can just roll right in whenever they want.
