the corpus christi tortoise fair

today was the annual corpus christi tortoise fair!

for any of you who are unfamiliar with the oxford college system,

there are about 40 colleges within oxford which are independent and

have their own classes, buildings, students, etc

but altogether they form the university body.

anyway...

the college i'm affiliated with is corpus christi

(which i love especially when (but not limited to...))

the fun tortoise race they had today.

there were tortoises from some other colleges and they all came together to race

but also to raise money for different charities

there were also little booths and games for people

giant chess, face painting, choir concert...

the start!

there were a ton of people there to watch the little guys race

it was also pouring rain

luckily and rightfully,

the corpus christi tortoise won (:
