Day Two: The Turf

After a full day of firsts, first time in the Examination Schools, first meal at the Hall at Magdalen (and second, incidentally), and I went to the Turf Tavern to meet some fellow Magdalen graduates. It was a great chance to meet some of my fellow students and the pub atmosphere lends it self well to otherwise awkward social situations. The Turf is a bit of landmark, supposedly very tough to find. My guide book claims it dates to the 13th century. We actually shut the place down tonight (something I never do), but that's because the pub's pulls dry up promptly at 11pm.
