OXFORD ENGLAND

Oxford, home to the "Oldest University in the english speaking world" and dates back as far as 1167.
Having some of the most beautiful architecture Ive ever seen, I was able to get some neat shots of the MANY buildings that made up this town. Most of the buildings you see below are all part of Oxford.. . "small private colleges" if you will which collectively make up the Oxford University.


now THATS a door!

HUGE statutes


In awe and amazement....

The buildings were so intricate with their design....


A very old door, with a book.... not sure what was written in the book though...

Phil, the ladieeeesss maaaan....



Gorgeous

This was my favorite building there.

Highlights of EnGLanD

CORNISH PASTRIES! Sooooooo yummmmmmyyy



I was fascinated with the fresh lavender growing EVERyWHEre.. so i picked it whenever i could. And even put it in the vents for some 'fresh air' :)

BOBBYS EVERYWHERE!


Many laughs and good times :) This pup was the one Prince Phillip had his stag in. So i guess that makes us near-celebrities, no?






A very special night where we went for a fancy meal at this pub which is owned by chef Heston Blumenthal who also owns Michelin star rated restaurant "The Fat Duck" which was just down the road.









We sure can tell that Bens not English . . or if he is..he didnt get the short genes! Check him out beside that door!



CHeck out the BOBBY!



Thought this was super cool - the oldest door- right there in Westminster Abbey :)











BIG BEN - London, England

Probably some of my most favorite pics are the ones of BIG BEN which is part of the Parliament building in London. Its truly a HUGE HUUUUGE clock which you can see for miles.

I loved it! (and no not because its name is Ben.. but i do think its a very beautiful name! ;) )
