Oxford


What a beautiful town, the houses, the architecture.
Did you know that there is not one Oxford University? Oxford University is comprised of 37 Colleges, all under the Oxford umbrella. There is one college per subject; ei: engineering, math, science, biology, etc, etc…
Some of these buildings are beautiful and very old; however, I could not go into most of them because they were close to the public. Some of them you could go (after paying a fee, of course), but they only let you see the gardens and the outside of the buildings unless you buy a tour, but even then you do not get to see much.
All the robes have a unique design, depending on the subject of study: ie; engineering, law, medicine, etc, I just don’t remember now which was which, there too many.
There is a humongous park, very nice and neat, but, like all English parks, it is all green, no flowers, and no colors.
At least for me, this is another must see in you tour of England, but, I like anything with a University on it. Besides, the town was very quaint, very English.
The day I went it just happened that they have a fair, so I eat a pork sandwich at one of the stands, it was good.
