Everybody was Kung-fu fighting!
I miss everyone so much, especially Celeste! Today was rather more eventful than yesterday, and it's not even over yet! This morning my brother, sister-in-law, and I all went punting again, only this time it was daytime, so you could see everything and every one was sober. Punting in the day and the night both have their merits, but I think I prefer the day over the night. I had the opportunity to row today which was so much fun, and not as hard as it looks, unless the other people who are punting have no river etiquette and decide to go to the left instead of the right making things oh-so-much more difficult than they need to be.
Well I think I will tell the story of my day in pictures since I took enough of them to do that today, so here we go:
My brother Nick as I begin to row the punt onto the river for the first time.
Me as I begin to row the punt onto the river for the first time.
Some ducks that we raced... They won :(... These ducks can be seen gaining on us in the first picture.
Me getting the hang of rowing and steering while another group of ducks follows in hot pursuit.
Me after I've pretty much gotten the hang of rowing. That building is a part of Darwin College, one of only 7 of Cambridge’s 31(ish) Colleges that is along part of the river.
That is called the math bridge (or something like that), it's nice, but I just thought I looked cool in this picture; however I have no idea what my brother is doing.
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore.
My sister-in-law Angela in front of the bridge of sighs.
Me, looking slightly sedated while punting in front of the bridge of sighs.
Angela punting on the way back.
No one looks too happy in this picture especially that girl in the blue, who couldn't punt to save her life.
We did some drugs.
After punting me and Angela went to look at the Colleges, this is the King’s College chapel which we went inside of, and it is gigantic, but it's not as great as some of the other ones around here.
Me and Angela in front of Kings College, Kings is probably the most famous College; it is huge and has beautiful architecture.
This is the layout of Cambridge. Those buildings are mostly Colleges and their chapels.
We did a bit of walking today and just looked around; this is what the streets of the actual town look like.
We looked around at a lot of stores and ate food at this great Greek food place. One of the shops that we past right before I headed home was one that I thought might have been made just for Cake, this was the sign in the window:
So Cake if you want me to pick you up anything while I'm out here, I know where to go!
Those are all the photo's I took, and that's about all we did, tonight though Nick and Angela are going to a ball at Jesus College, which you have to be 18 to get into, so I'm probably just going to see a movie! I haven't seen a movie since I have been in England, and that's almost a week! Going from at least one movie a day to no movies in almost a week is pretty rough, but I might see a couple tonight, I need my fix and apparently there is an art cinema near here so I can actually see something good. “Cars” isn't out here yet :(... In fact the movie situation is pretty bleak because, save for a few movies they are a few months behind us. But there are more foreign films to choose from which is awesome. Any-way, I know these entries are a bit long winded and may have a few too many pictures that are a bit repetitive, but you certainly don't have to read my entries, however if you don't I certainly don't know why you're on my friends list in the first place. So I hope every one has a great day, I know it is just starting in the US, so be sure to have lots of fun, or at least make a lot of money.
