Oxford

Tierney, Brendan, Tierney's friend Tim, Sam Drapeau (from RPI), and I all took the train to Oxford for only 11 pounds round trip for the day.  We hit up a bunch of Harry Potter spots for Tierney which will probably be posted later but we also got to take a tour of the Bodleian Library as well as a few other spots on campus which was really fun and interesting.  You wouldn't believe how many books they have on this campus!  Haha, unfortunately no pictures were allowed in the library.

Christ Church (a school within Oxford)

The dinning hall for the students.  Also, the inspiration for Harry Potter's Great Hall.

The Quad at Christ Church

I just like the cool architecture.

Isaac Newton's Work and the Telegram from the Titanic saying they've hit an ice berg!

In the Divinity School the catholic saints were smashed during the Reformation.

Punting Boats!

Tierney at the candy shop.

The Divinity School where they filmed Harry Potter infirmary scenes.  They guy in the sweater is Tierney's friend, Matt.  He is from Notre Dame and is studying abroad at Oxford so he showed us around!  Nice guy.

This building/tower has five different kinds of architecture all in one!

The circular building on the left is the science library.  More cool architecture!
