We left our homestay families this morning. While I didn't see any tears, I know some students had a difficult time saying goodbye.
Next up - Oxford. The bustling university town of England. When I say it's a bustling town, that really doesn't do it justice. It is CROWDED and BUSY!! We spent about an hour or so touring the city.
Our evening ended at Warwick Castle. Students had a little over an hour to explore, then we had dinner and then the students were able to participate in lessons on how people back in the day faught. They learned sword fighting and how to joust. The night was capped with a firing of a trebuchet. Students a quite a lot of fun with the jousting and sword fighting!
We did not camp out at the castle like I did a few years ago. I was glad of that. When I explained to the students and other leaders and Phillip about the experience, they found it extremely funny. All I can say is that words DO NOT describe how bad of an experience the camping was. I was more than happy to not have to do it again.
Tomorrow - Pitlochry, Scotland
