As always, no trip to England would be complete without a visit to Oxford. But this time, I was intent on doing some things I had not done before, and seeing the unfamiliar.

Since I've been to Oxford so many times over the past few years, and have documented it pretty well on this web page, my goal for this trip was to take some pictures of some unusual stuff, or usual stuff from unusual angles.

This is the side entrance of the Ashmolean Museum, which I have visited in the past. I think this is my attempt at some artsy photography.

And nothing makes good eatin' like a box o' bunnies. I found this in the covered market, just off Cornmarket street. There were a few butcher shops inside, but I thought this was pretty wild.

I FINALLY made it down to Christchurch College, something I've wanted to do on EVERY previous trip. I did the foot tour of the entire college, and had a really great time. Film enthusiasts will know that a number of scenes from the Harry Potter movies were shot here. It's also clear to see how the Oxford Colleges influenced the design of Hogwarts. Not that I would know.

Here are my nephews and niece! Just when I thought the jetlag was going to hit me, I was offered a tour of Fred's bedroom. I guess he had some pretty trick spider-man stuff he wanted to show off, so I obliged. Like the good uncle I am.

Another building from Christchurch College. I think this was the church on the college grounds. If you ever have the opportunity to check the place out, I highly recommend it.
