One two hour bus ride later and my friends and I arrived in  Bourton-on-the-Water, a charmingly small town in the Cotswolds. After  wobbling our way through what remained of the ice and snow on the  ground, we came upon the heart of the village, which seemed to consist  mostly of tea houses\u2013 not that I was complaining! The bucolic image was  further enhanced by the first sun that England has seen for days.<\/p>\n<p>After an hour wandering through the town\u2013 and grabbing a spot of tea!\u2013 we headed off towards Oxford.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5176\" href=\"http:\/\/oldblogs.ups.edu\/studyingabroad\/2013\/03\/04\/oxford-blues\/oxfordmarket2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5176\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/OxfordMarket2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/OxfordMarket2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/OxfordMarket2-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5176\" href=\"http:\/\/oldblogs.ups.edu\/studyingabroad\/2013\/03\/04\/oxford-blues\/oxfordmarket2\/\"><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5177\" href=\"http:\/\/oldblogs.ups.edu\/studyingabroad\/2013\/03\/04\/oxford-blues\/oxford24\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5177\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford24.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford24.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford24-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once we got to Oxford, we had a bit of free time to grab  lunch, so  naturally we went to the market. It\u2019s getting to be a habit  now! After  some delicious soup, we joined back up with our group for a  tour of  Christchurch. We got to see the Dining Hall that the Great Hall  in Harry  Potter was based on and had a look around the college. The  gardens and  grounds of the university were my favorite\u2013 they were just  so  quintessentially English!<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I fell quite in love with  Oxford. I\u2019ll definitely be  heading back there at some point\u2013 hopefully  for grad school in a few  years!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5172\" href=\"http:\/\/oldblogs.ups.edu\/studyingabroad\/2013\/03\/04\/oxford-blues\/oxford18\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5172\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford18.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford18.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford18-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-5173\" href=\"http:\/\/oldblogs.ups.edu\/studyingabroad\/2013\/03\/04\/oxford-blues\/oxford9\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5173\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford9.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studyingabroad\/files\/2013\/03\/Oxford9-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple weekends ago, I went on a day-trip to Oxford and the Cotswolds.
