Cambridge Lectures and Tour

Today was pub day, here is one that we passed by on our way back from the lectures!

Our first lecture series was today, and it was very intimidating. The professors who spoke were extremely knowledgeable about their topics (geopolitics and finance in England and India). It was very humbling to hear these people speak, they know so much about their subject matter AND they can lecture. Perhaps some of our Redlands instructors should come here to learn something.

I am tired tonight, so I am not doing much on the blog. However, here are some pictures from our college tour. We walked all over Cambridge today. This picture is Sir Isaac Newton's house at Trinity. Note the blooming apple tree, this isn't the "one" that inspired him, but it is from his orchard. We also saw Darwin's house (it is across the Thames from our lecture building). We stopped for a quick 1/2 pint at the Slug and Lettuce pub, which was our top destination location for pub drinking.

This evening we went to a reception at Jesus college, we met in the prioress room. I wonder how many bad nuns were hauled into that office. We capped the night off at the local pub, I had my first Guinness (and it was cold).

Tomorrow, we have lectures on the economy and the war. We are also going to tea. I can hardly wait to suck down some clotted cream.

Kings College Interior shots, this does not do the chapel justice. Since Joy and I have recently found services quite enjoyable, we are going again next week to hear the Kings College Choir.
