Sunday and Monday we caught up on sleep and laundry and grocery shopping, then got up early Tuesday morning to catch the train to Cambridge (which is just past London). We got off the train (hobo kits in hand - that's important later) and did a quick walking tour of the colleges. It was a PERFECT day and we thoroughly enjoyed the weather by getting ice cream and just sitting in the parks.
Welcome sign in the street on our way to the Information Center
A church we saw while stopped at a red light
Some of the lovely architecture
Lab where lots of important things happened, including the discovery of electrons. Goooo Cambridge!
Peterborough College Chapel, a really pretty building
Me in the courtyard of Peterborough College
More architecture
Entrance to Trinity College, where we actually spent the 2 pounds to go inside and see the chapel
Part of the courtyard of Trinity College - look at the ivy covering those buildings!
Me on the other side of the courtyard at Trinity. The chapel is right behind me.
Inside of Trinity Chapel
Again in Trinity Chapel, with the statue of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, an alumnus of Cambridge and one of my favorite poets of all time
The Wren Library at Trinity College, where we got to see manuscripts from Tennyson, Isaac Newton, A.A. Milne, Spenser, Shakespeare, and tons of other incredible things. I cried.
Pretty stream directly behind the Wren Library (it would be just the the right of this scene), where you can get a glimpse of just how glorious a day it was
