Old Oxford


8/30/2013 - Oxford, UK

After four days in a row of heavy travel, I was exhausted when I arrived in York. I pulled myself together and walked the 3 miles to J.R.R. Tolkien's gravestone and back. By the time I got back to the main university campus, it was mostly shut down. I spent the night hanging out in the hostel's lounge.

I was surprised to see that York, Hay-on-Wye, and Oxford are all filled with tourists. I had thought York and Oxford were real cities were people did things, and that Hay-on-Wye would be in its off season. Instead, they were just as filled with British, German, and Japanese tourists as anywhere.
