Today our train took us to Oxford where we toured the palace of Blenheim. As usual, when we first arrive I'm not too excited or interested. But once we begin the tour and I learn little by little why the palace is so significant, my appreciation and interest grows. I loved it. The inside (we weren't allowed to photograph again) was filled with things we have just learned in history, such as ormolu mounts and contra parte/prima parte pieces. The gardens went on for acres, filled with beautiful water features and statues. The weather made it even more enjoyable!
Quick fact about Blenheim Palace: Winston Churchill was born in a bedroom here!
