After a few days in London staying with one of Jaims' friends we headed out to Cambridge to visit our pal Rob who was completing a semester of research with the Cambridge faculty. I loved the buildings and the formalities of the grounds. It was refreshing to see students so well dressed. We stuck out like sore thumbs in our thin threaded backpackers attire. A part of me was thinking I would see Harry Potter come around the corner at any second. The toffee shops, fish and chips, the river and the beautiful homes just about did me in. I loved every bit of it! My favorite part was joining our friend on a last minute punting trip. The river was so busy it sort of felt like bumper boats mixed with a gondola. The best part was that fact that the head of the honors program from our university and another professor joined us. So in our small boat sat two very accomplished scholars, two very well dressed and bright students and two ragamuffins who looked like they hadn't seen a proper shower for weeks (which is true).
