Oxford and Blenheim Palace
The lake at Blenheim Palace.
Part of the gardens at Blenheim.
Waiting to get inside the Palace... brrr -- was it cold!
Blenheim Palace -- built by Queen Anne built for the Duke of Marlborough for defeating the French 4 times.
Stay off the quad! Don't know what will happen if you do, but according to our guide it would be similar to stepping onto an electric fence. OK -- not so much, but these green parcels of space are the pride of every college at Oxford University.
Watch out for the bikes in Oxford! Apparently they have no qualms about running you over and then blaming the incident on the pedestrian.
The round building in the background is of the theater in Oxford, England. A back entrance was created so that gowns (people associated with the university) could exit safely away from towns (people living in Oxford not associated with the university). Apparently, when the theater was built, the gowns and towns did not get along so very well.
