Cambridge

On Tuesday we went to Cambridge! I can't tell you all how beautiful it is! If I was going to study abroad for a long time (like a semester) I would choose Cambridge. Definitely. CUTE shops, CUTE market, BEAUTIFUL colleges, and punting. There is a river that runs through the town and the big thing to do is punt. What is punting you ask? Think Venice with the gondolas...then think those boats and the poles, and then at least 20 other punting boats surrounding you and trying to do it yourself with no practice..haha I was a terrible punter. But I found a bell in the market (in case you don't know I collect bells) which I LOVE! I now have a bell for England and Italy. The best time of the day though, was when we realized we had about 40 minutes of walking to cover in 20 minutes so we were literally sprinting all the way back through Cambridge to catch the train.
