Thursday we got to miss class for the day and travel to Canterbury’s chocolate factory for a tour. Once we arrived, we had about 20 minutes to relax before our meeting with one of the managers from the plant, so everyone decided to go check out their mini chocolate candy store. They had so much chocolate in there, it was awesome! They even had a replica soccer ball of the 2010 world cup made of full chocolate for only 16 pounds! Unfortunately, I left my wallet back at the Oxford house, so I wasn’t able to buy it. However, I did purchase a pretty good size chocolate bar. Later, we were able to tour their facility and see how they go about creating the wonderful bars upon bars of chocolate. Once we finished the scrumptious tour and the free chocolate they gave us, we headed back to the bus to take our next tour of Warwick Castle. Warwick Castle is an authentic castle from the medieval era that was refurbished and now presented as a tour attraction that offers a viewing of a working trebuchet, a jousting arena, a reenactment battle with Warwick warriors, and viewing of how dungeons looked and treated the prisoners. It was a lot of fun with a great tour along the walls where hundreds of years ago people stationed at to defend their castle from invading forces. After Warwick, we headed back to our Oxford houses for a late class from 7pm to 10pm. Friday brought an early morning but was soon made better by having a couple of outdoor games like bocce ball and soccer. Then we wound back down by spending most all night studying for our marketing test Saturday morning. It has been a busy past couple of days with our projects but we have persevered through it and are coming to astonishing results in regards to the technology basis of Oxfam. Thank you for staying in touch, looking forward to the nice relaxing weekend in Oxford, Jeff Bartosh.
