Scenes from Harry Potter

Today, we went on a field trip to Oxford, about 90 minutes outside of London, and home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world.  Oxford is also known for its spires and building designs that span the English architectural period dating to the Saxons.  A special treat was visiting Christ Church College (one of 39 colleges that comprise Oxford University) and its dining hall, which is prominently featured in the Harry Potter film series.  Our guide, Eric Thompson, was entertaining as well as enlightening, and christened Harry Potter devotee Lydia Lefevre, "Weasley."
