July 23rd

Today was so much fun. Early this morning we took a train to Cambridge. It is the coolest college town, they say there are more bikes then there are students, I totally believe it! I wasn't worried about getting hit by a car, it's the bikes you got to watch out for! In Cambridge we met up with our tour guide Sally, who was the sweetest lady, loved her. She took us all over Cambridge to places like King's College, All Saint's Church, and the Fitzwilliam Museum. I love Cambridge! It is what I've imagined a traditional English town would be like. Plants growing up the walls of buildings, flea markets, the old cathedrals, and everything within walking distance. It would be a dream come true if I was going to school at Cambridge, anyways, inbetween all of our touring we went to the Eagle Pub for lunch. This pub has been there for a few hundred years, they say the Shakespear has preformed and eaten there, and also the double helix of the DNA was also decovered there! Pretty neat huh? They are also famous for their fish and chips, oh my, it was so good! After lunch and our tours, we were able to go punting down the river in Cambridge. Punting is kind of like a gondola but instead of moving the boat with an ore the punter uses a long pole and pushes the pole against the river bottom and pushes the boat through the river. It was so much fun! Our punter was really cute too, Orlando is his name and he is a student at Oxford. He was so cute and nice and gave us the history of Cambridge as we passed by buildings. It was so much fun. After our punting ride Beccah, Malory, Jenna, and I went and looked around at all the shops for a while before heading back to London. We took the train back to King's Cross station in London so we stoped and saw Platfor 9 3/4! So cool! they actually had a cart halfway through the wall so we took some pretty funny pictures. It was a really fun day, the next three days are free days! Should be fun we have lots of fun things planed.
