After a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds, Mom & Gary finished their trip to England with 3 relaxing days in Cambridge. Here are some highlights:
- Formal Hall at Corpus Christi College hosted by my friend Hanan (don't we look very Harry Potter?)
- Punting on the River Cam to see the 'backs' of the oldest colleges, including Queen's, King's, St John's, Trinity, and Magdalene (where CS Lewis taught).
- The University Botanic Gardens where all the trees and shrubs from around the world are labeled for our education! :)
- The choir service at King College Chapel where the most talented male singers from all over England are trained - beautiful atmosphere, amazing sounds!
- Pub dinner at the Anchor, where the band Pink Floyd started. (They were Cambridge townies as opposed to Gownies, the University students and members who were the gowns you see above.)
- Getting to spend two afternoons with mom, punting down the river, having tea at Aunties, going to gardens and the Fitzwilliam, and just relaxing in lovely Cambridge. :)

Love catching a glimpse of your beautiful European adventures! :) Are you going to be in SLO for the summer?
Hey Linda, I am tasked with writing a dissertation due at the end of August! (I have a feeling it will be pretty tough will all the distractions and nice weather lately.) I won't be back until mid-Sept. like all that other students. :) I look forward to being back in CA!
