N.F. / Oxford

What a day. Today was a rather different day than I imagined, We started our early day off with a trip to see Florence Nightingale's tomb. Florence Nightingale, F.N., is founder of modern Nursing.  The church that we were at was small but very pretty.  There was some paintings on the wall.  They were not complete, therefore one had to use their imagination to complete the paintings.  There was a short film that we watched that was done by a local. It looked as if it was professionally done.  Then we were off to F. N. 's home.  At the home, we saw the room, a library, where Mr. Nightingale taught his daughter.  This is the same room, where she was proposed to and there is a secret passageway in the bookshelf.  Supposedly a young boy was sick and slept in this room and Florence Nightingale's ghost came through the bookshelf.  Our guide then took our group outside to get a view of the back of the estate. The guide explained that Mr. Nightingale made several additions to the house when they lived there. There were many hospital style windows added because Mr. Nightingale was fascinated by them. Then we visited the tree in which F. N. supposedly got her calling to be a nurse. The tree looks as if it is two tress, however it is one tree.  We next journeyed over to Oxford.  School over here is very different than what it is in the States. There is 38 different Universities, under one Oxford University. There was sites that we visited that can also be seen in the Harry Potter films. Many of us, wished we could have spent more time in Oxford exploring on our own. However, this leaves room for revisitation later on in life.  After leaving Oxford we journeyed home.  Some of the gang and I went to a little Italian restaurant. I had pepperoni pizza. I thought it was very good. The portion was not very big, so Chas and I had to go to the pub next door and get more food, cheaper food, Day four was a success in my book. Cheers mates...
