Cambridge

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.
