These last few days are busy, busy, busy. Today we headed off to Oxford University. We walked around all the different colleges under the umbrella of Oxford University. The architecture was amazing. It was open day at the colleges, so there were a lot of students looking at Oxford for their future educational needs. I think we may have had a few of our own students wanting to come back when they are older and apply.
From there we headed to London and the final 3 days of the program. We had an overview bus tour of London City, which included the London eye, Buckingham Palace, Clarence House (where Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince William and Kate, and Henry live), St. James Palace (where Princess Anne lives), Westminster Abbey, Parliament Building, Big Ben (which is really just the bell inside the clock tower), St. Paul's Cathedral (where Princess Di and Prince Charles were married). We also did the mini Harry Potter tour of London, including Trafalagar Square where the premiere of the last Harry Potter movie was showing this evening and there were thousands of people camping out to be part of this event. We also drove by Diagon Alley, Gringott's Bank, Wobbly Bridge (and we made it wobble!) and where Daniel Radcliffe went to school. We had some spectacular views and are looking forward to a more in depth tour tomorrow.
