Afternoon at Christ Church

The weather in Oxford on Friday was about 75 degrees with a bright blue sky--the perfect day to have a picnic, take a tour of the Christ Church library, and then go for a walk down Dead Man's Walk.

Peckwater Quad where our dorms and classrooms were.

Inside Christ Church Library

There are sensors set so that if you get within two feet of the shelves an alarm goes off.

The library houses around 80,000 books from the beginning of the printing press to the 1800s.
