Day 3: Tuesday began with pastries, coffee and hot chocolate across the street and a walk along Hyde Park to catch the bus to Oxford. We found that some of the most elite car dealers are along Park Lane next to the park \u2013 including Pagani, an exotic machine that isn\u2019t imported into the US, so even Eric\u2019s sightings of the car are rare.<\/p>\n

We rode the Oxford Tube (which contrary to its name is a bus not a subway) to the city of Oxford, enjoying the view from the second level of the bus and taking advantage of free wifi to get caught up on things at home. Once in town we had an hour to kill before our campus tour, so we visited the Covered Market and a bookstore. About the time our tour started the rain began to fall, and it continued off and on for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure there is much more to the city of Oxford than we saw, but it very much had the feel of a college town to it.<\/p>\n
