April 30th - Tour Day 9 - Oxford

I have not had a chance to update in a few days, and so I'm going to catch-up quickly now and then add pictures and student comments later...

We were up quite early today (and we were staying in a hostel in Exeter). Many of us had COLD showers, the hostel was full. After a wonderful breakfast (Hot or Cold depending on choice), we hopped on the bus for Oxford.

We arrived in Oxford at around noon. We explored Oxford for most of the afternoon and evening. Some people took in a Sung Eucharist at 6pm at Christ Church Cathedral. The boys choir sang a Poulenc Mass, and this was recieved by mixed reviews from those in attendance. To contemporary for some and amazing for others!

Many people visited the "Eagle and Child" where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien met with others on a regular basis. It was another fantastic day!
