London and Harry Potter Round 2

Today was Sasha's first day in London!! This meant we had a lot to see and do! We started with all the classic tourist site, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Shopping at Hamleys, and of course, Harry Potter Studio Set Tour! It was such a long day so instead of talking all about it, here are some wonderful pictures :)

Trafalgar Square

Buckingham Palace

Harry Potter Set Tour was actually different than the last time I was there. Since it was Halloween, everything was a bit darker and more festive, not to mention the death eaters were out!

Yet Another Beautiful Day in Oxford

I think that I have been way too lucky with the weather here in Oxford. The past two days Sasha, Sally, and I have been wandering around the city center of Oxford. We have had wonderful weather with warm days and sun which we used to our advantage. We spent the past two days going to my favorite famous sites and cute little shops all over the city.

Visit to the Ashmolean to look at the Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt exhibits

Visiting the Radcliffe Camera

More Visitors!!

So its only one visitor, but still, someone came to see me!! My friend Sasha, from High Point, came to visit on her week long fall break so we are amped up and ready to go!! After arriving in Oxford this afternoon, we walked through Headington before meeting my flat mates and going on an after dinner walk. It was a beautiful night so we walked through the city center before stumbling on The Eagle and Child, the pub where C.S. Lewis and Tolkien wrote. It was a very cute little pub where we were able to relax and play some British Trivial Pursuit, which was much much easier than the American version! After grabbing some crepes at a dessert bar it is off to bed to rest for our amazing adventures tomorrow!!!
