So this was my last weekend in Oxford---and I didn't spend it in Oxford. This weekend was our excursion for the Reformation class and I must say that I liked it better than the excursion last weekend. The professor is a blast and it was much more chill. We went to a castle (another one) but we had a really nice picnic right in the middle of it which was cool. Then we went to Ludlow (which is in England but right on the Welsh border)---our home for the next night. We went to a church there that was converted during the Reformation and also the castle. After that, we went back for dinner-which was fantastic! Our room was really nice and it was nice to be in a comfy bed for a night. We woke up early this morning and saw Stokesay Castle then drove about an hour to Harvington Hall. The Hall was my favorite excursion site of this whole trip. It was a manor owned by Catholics during the Reformation and so there were about 7 "hides" built in during the Elizabethan period for the priests to stay during searches (during this time, it was treason to be a Catholic priest). After Harvington, we came back home!
I am super tired now...excursions are quite exhausting. I have a 3000 word and 2000 word paper to write this week, so I will definitely be busy! I am hoping to have a great last several days in Oxford and I can't wait to see everyone when I get home!
Love you and see you soon!
