Day 3 Part 2

by Urgo on March 14, 2003

The rest of today was really cool. After waiting a while for ryan, the person we are staying with in oxford to get back we went out for a walking tour of oxford. Among the many places we walked we visited the place of the filming of the Harry Potter films. The location where all the internal castle shots were shot was called the Christ Church College, or something like that. I have a picture to post when I get back of myself in the dining hall where all the Hogwarts students ate.
After that we visited a few other colleges in Oxford before returning home to Ryan’s room in Trinity college. After hanging around talking for awhile we took off to begin the night life. Our first stop was the Eagle and Child (again.. something to that extent), a pub where Tolkien and CS Lewis used to hang out.
After the pub we headed off to a french restaurant that I can not remember the name of. The food was excellent, especially the desert.
We ended the day by going to two bar/clubs. The first was in the basement of Trinity college. This is the first place where I had more then one drink. The rest of the night was fun. We hung around with Stewart, Ryan, and a few of their friends the entire time before coming back to Ryan’s around 12:45am.
Well now it is time for bed. I hope everyone from umass is having fun as it is now their spring break.
UPDATE: Here is one of the pictures from the harry potter castle

I would just like to congragulate Jay on his tremendous achievement of having more than one drink. See Jay it wasn’t that bad was it? I don’t remember the world ending atleast :). In other news right now I am rescuing russellsavage.com floppy disk by floppy disk. It is a tedious task but I think I will get most of it.

I just wrote to some other Urgo spelled Jaye who has some job in Chalottesville, VA. That’s not you too, is it?
Just trying to avoid my work.
Hard to believe you had two drinks. Things change, eh?
I’m going East soon. I’m staying with Brenda Hartt in Maine. Wonder how my teenage son will like her teenage daughters. Then
