Parks!

Since it's Friday afternoon, I took a break from studying and wandered through some of the parks in the area. Oxford is surrounded by beautiful English countryside, so I thought I'd share some of my pictures with you all!


My room! Not the parks yet, but pretty glorious anyways...


Magdalen College's Bell Tower (c. 1500)


Oxford University Park


South Park
(at least I think this is South Park...at this point I had wandered off my map)


Gorgeous park connecting Oxford University Park to the East Oxford residential areas.

I'm staying in Oxford this weekend to go to some museums, parks, and pubs. Tonight we are hoping to find some sort of 4th of July celebration (yeah right!) in the center of town. I'll let you all know!

Love,
Emily

Im sure you'll find fellow Americans celebrating independence day... although we got our independence by beating the British so who knows.

hey maybe you could head to Paris for the 14th and celebrate Bastille Day. Sure to get some fireworks on the champ de mars.
