The Aftermath...

So I had originally planned to blog each day about the events which occurred but last night was a little skewed.

Our day began as normal yesterday and we ate breakfast and attended 2 lectures in the morning and one after lunch. Once we completed our third lecture Sofia and I hit the town, we opted out of the Mini Cooper Factory tour since there was limited space and decided to explore Oxford. We visited the church which Mike's parents were married in, St. Aloysius, and it was absolutely beautiful. For a small church it is still huge, definitely not the 8 x 12 office space which we have back home.

After St. Aloysius we made our way to St. Mary's where we intended to climb to the top of the clock tower and look over the whole city. It was absolutely amazing and on the way we were confronted with a Bollywood movie shoot which we observed for a short bit. Definitely weird that the first time I would encounter that would be here rather than home. After viewing the city from one of the best views in town we crossed high street to the official University of Oxford shoppe.

We loaded up on goodies and gifts for the family and made our way down High Street investigating the clothing shops. There so many pretty things it was hard to be good but we were. We finally settled on a place to eat, The Living Room, which is right next to Oxford Castle. One of the best places I have ever eaten! They also had my favorite dessert of Sticky Toffee Pudding which I thoroughly enjoyed after my 21 day aged fillet, yum. After dinner the best part of our adventure began we made our way back to Worcester College to drop off our purchases and then made it over to the Eagle and Child which is one of the old stomping grounds of CS Lewis and JR Tolkien.

 Was extremely small and we enjoyed a bottle of wine where we met two American students from the east coast.

We then began our pub crawl which was not planned at all. We stopped at The Bear and The Kings Arms, then hit the night clubs on Park End. We met a group of gentlemen celebrating a chap's birthday at The Bear and we tagged along with them for the rest of the evening.

Definitely fun to hang out with the locals and enjoy some brews. The nightclubs were fun but I believe I enjoy the pubs a bit more. We went to Wahoos and ended our night at The Bridge. All in all it was a fantastic evening and I am paying for it today. 

We are off to London now!
