Making a Wish



On our tour the first day, tour guide Debbie suggested that we stand under the Hertford Bridge (modeled after Venice's Bridge of Sighs) and make a wish. She instructed us NOT to tell anyone our wish or else it will not come true.


Debbie was happy to be a native Oxonian. She can trace her lineage back to the 13th century. The class thought she was very knowledgable and enthusiastic.


We saw Harry Potter sites, which was a highlight. We saw Oxford scholars in robes. We saw J.R.R. Tolkien's student room on Terl St. The students will post more details, I suspect.


The top photo is of us wishing under the Hertford Bridge. Here's hoping our wishes come true. The second photo is a birds-eye view of Oxford from St. Mary's tower.
