Visiting Oxford today was magnificent. I have visited Oxford once before with my mom but going back to see the town again made me realize things I had missed the first time. The architecture is so old and historic that it is hard not to be amazed at the town. I spent most of my day at Brasenose College in Oxford for my brother’s graduation.
The train ride to Oxford was an hour because we bought the fast pass if you buy the regular pass it takes about two and a half hours to reach Oxford. The country side is beautiful and has large fields and flowers that you can see from the train about ten minutes out of the city. We then walked around town and went site seeing and made our way to the college.
My brother had us enter into a room where people were drinking tea and coffee and we spent twenty minutes just talking with other graduates families. When the graduation started it was two hours of Latin and people repeating things in Latin. After the ceremony we had lunch in the dining hall for two hours and then we were free to leave.
Afterwards we walked around town till we had made a circle and were back at the train station. We then went home for the night. Today was really fun and I am so proud of my brother. Check in tomorrow and send me a post.
