Cambridge was a whirl wind tour. We arrived in early afternoon and had a lovely lunch with my Aunt and Uncle at their house. It was a terrific sunny day--we've had great luck with the weather so far--so we ate outside in the back garden. After we finished up our lunch, we took a taxi into the downtown--there is very little parking downtown--where we wandered about town. We saw parts of Queens College Cambridge with wonderful Tudor architecture. Once again, I marvel at how something built so very long ago is still being used.

We took a peek down the river Cam and continued down to Kings College Cambridge, where my father was a chorister. Kings has the most amazing chapel with amazing vaulted ceilings. There are buttresses on the outside that allow a "curtain" of stained glass inside the building. The Chapel has an amazing screen between sections of the building.

After that, we climbed to the top of St Mary's Church in the middle of town to get a bird's eye view of the town.

We went to a pub just outside of town called the "Royal Oak" for a pint and then back to the house for a spot of dinner and conversation.

It was a lovely day yesterday. Today we find ourselves on a train rushing towards Coventry.
