Past Adventures: Cambridge

05/17/13 | bucket list, Cambridge, England, Europe, Past Adventures, Travel, United Kingdom

As always, my readers are amazing.  Over the past few days I have loved your comments and emails about my travels to Florence, Hearst Castle, and Dubrovnik.  I was hesitant to do another full week about my Past Adventures, one of the four series I have on my blog, and expand on the items I have crossed off my travel Bucket List.  Today I bring you my travels to Cambridge, England:

When I had the chance to visit my friend who was “reading psychology” at Cambridge I jumped at the chance. My best friend, who celebrated New Years Eve with me in NYC, was an amazing tour guide during my few days in the adorable British town and made my experience at Cambridge University a really treat.  However, I visited while classes were in session so while E was attended lectures I had a fantastic time exploring one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the United Kingdom and the world (to quote Wikipedia).

The majority of these photos were taken at or around John’s College.  I learned, while visiting, that what they call a “college” in the U.K. us Americans would view as a collection of dorms where you live during all three years at university.  The concept of off campus living does not apply. Take a look at my week in Cambridge:

It was a truly remarkable trip!

    I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very
    easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here
    and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
    Outstanding work!
