Those Pictures I Promised


First: The Ashmolean! This museum is amazing guys. I was geeking out!!











(oh ps: this robe was worn by Lawrence of Arabia)







That last one is Vincent Van Gogh, bye. 

I KNOW RIGHT?! I was freaking out. 

Anyway. More adventures include:

Making pancakes all by myself


And only burning two of them. 

Aaaaand the Old Bodleian!





Look there's me sneaking a selfie. Get ready for more of these because guys. This room. 
First off, they filmed part of Harry Potter here. It's the Hogwarts Infirmary. 



So I'm in this room right? Cool Harry Potter. I'm just lookingn around, no one else really around. Then I go to leave but as I do I glance up. Oh. My. Lord. The ceiling. I seriously stared at this ceiling for the next twenty minutes.




Like dang! They aren't the best pics but really. It's gorgeous. One of the wonderful ladies who work there saw the look on my eye and shared a story with me that I really loved. 

She told me how one day there was a man looking around in the hall outside, at the ceiling there. (It's pretty, but like 1/50 of this.) and she spoke to him and he said that he was a stonemason himself to he loved the carvings. She told him that he absolutely must go inside, despite the fact that you normally need a ticket or a readers card. She dragged him in there and said that he stood there staring for the next solid hour, tears streaming down his face, and all he could say was "The cost!"  I just thought that was a beautiful story. It really is so beautiful. 

Well that's about it from me for now. I leave you with a sunset. Goodnight all!

  1. I love that little story so much! I am having a similar reaction sitting in front of my computer here in Arkansas. :D
