While Alba and I were in Cambridge<\/a>, we toured several of the Colleges of Cambridge<\/a>, including St. John’s<\/a>, Trinity<\/a>, Kings’<\/a>, Queens’<\/a>,\u00a0and Clare College<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A very fun thing to do in Cambridge is to punt down the river<\/a>. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was sunny, mid-70s and simply gorgeous. Alba rented a punt from her alma mater, Clare, and punted us the whole way. The river was quite crowded.<\/p>\n

Alba did such a good job! It’s a rather difficult thing to do. According the the guide book, “no one else knows what they’re doing, either.” You can hire professionals<\/a> to guide you down the river, but what’s the fun in that?<\/p>\n

It was wonderful to be in the boat, gently rocking, feeling warm under the sun and getting to take in all the sights along the Cambridge River. I could have fallen asleep, laying there.<\/p>\n
