I Bet it is Like Berkeley...Only With A Better Accent

When you think of Universities in England the two that come to mind are Oxford and Cambridge. I live really close to Cambridge. It is about a 30 min drive away. It is an absolutely beautiful city, with an obscene amount of bicycles. Yes, bicycles. Everyone uses them and they are not afraid to run over small children.

The day we went to Cambridge I kept LaLa out of school. I didn't know what time we were going to be back and I didn't want to leave the poor kid stranded at the school. We got there about 10am and it was cold and windy. Cambridge has the river Cam running in between the different Universities that are located there. So, when you tour the University grounds, you are also walking along the Cam. There are also boats that punt on the Cam.

Did I mention it was cold and windy? Yes? Oh well lets add the wind coming off water into the mix. Yeah that sounds like a good idea! But oh, it is so beautiful!

The chapel at Kings College was gourgeous.

Spectacular.

Besides the cold and the wind and the insane bicycle riders, I was impressed with the beauty of the area. I am sure I will be back soon on a warmer day, sans kids.

Enlarge to spot the student prank in this one! (look closely at what is in the King's right hand)
