[quote=Anonymous]I'm the one who posted about the Alice tours.  I'm a high school English teacher and I spent a week at Oxford last summer taking a College Board sponsored AP English workshop/seminar that was taught by an American teacher who had attended Oxford and comes back every summer to do the seminar with his old English prof.  It was great, sort of like camp for English teachers, and being in Oxford was a perfect vacation for a literary person.  I enjoyed the day trip to Shakespeare's Stratford, plus the Alice walks, etc., and a performance of As You Like it by Oxford students on the lawn of one of the colleges in the evening (they had "fairy lights" in the trees, and we sat on the grass to watch: best As You Like It ever!).  The campus/colleges are very accessible to tourists, and there is so much to see and do.  If I hadn't been in class for our seminar in the day times, I would have had no problems occupying myself.  You can really feel the hundreds of years of tradition in the air in Oxford.

But I would be happy to go visit Cambridge someday, too.  [/quote]
