Oxford Trip - March 08

Another day of fine British weather! BISC’s centuria of students invaded Oxford under the command of Shanthi and Kevin. Arriving a little past the hour we soon rendezvoused with our 5 highly informed professional Blue Badge tour guides who took us around and relayed to us the key points and history of the city. Part of the tour was a venture into Brasenose college, one of the colleges of Oxford University, where our guides transfixed our attention onto the history of the quadrangle and chapel. After the briefing was complete, our students were let loose on this poor city, some wandered into the world famous covered market, some climbed Carfax Tower, some saw the Sheldonian Theatre. At 3:30, the elusive Café BISC was opened for business and St Aldates church was soon bustling with students. Our return journey was swift and our minds enlightened by the city of dreaming spires.
