Day 27: Oxford

So today we went to Oxford, and it was incredible. We went to The Eagle and Child, the place where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien would meet and talk about what they were writing. It was so cool to be in that place. Right when we walked in there was a quote dialog between Merry and Pippin. The burger that I had was absolutely amazing as well. It was massive and mouthwateringly tasty (yep, it’s a word).

After lunch we met up with a guy studying at Oxford right now. One of the guys in the group knows him from back home. He took us around and showed us the different libraries and colleges. I have officially studied theology and Oxford. I read part of a theology book in one of the libraries. We saw an exhibit of original notes and illustrations by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. That was pretty cool. After talking with this guy for a while I found out that his tutors for class include Ravi Zacharias and John Lennox. That was really cool to hear. Oxford is just a really cool place.

Next we went to a restaurant and had High Tea Time. It’s basically tea time but more fancy. It was really cool. The tea was good and we each had some tiny little sandwiches and cakes. It was very British. It was a wonderful day.
