We are going to be rubbing elbows with students at the colleges next week. Our first official event is at Jesus College which I am very excited about. When we land on Saturday, I plan to walk the university town and experience all of the sights and smells first hand. Trust me, there will probably be a lot of "smells".
Sunday we are going to London- I have three must do's that day.
Westminster, Tower of London, British Muesum.
And of course eating all of that disgusting food I keep hearing about. If they have a good curry, I will be there!
During the week, we plan to travel to Ely to see an amazing cathedral.
We will also be viewing Kings College Chapel.
I will also be going to tea with our professor at the Orchard Tea Garden- here is a blurb from the website:
From 1909, when Brooke moved into Orchard House, to 1914, when the First World War began, the Orchard, with its wooden Tea Pavilion, which still stands to this day, provided a backdrop to a very remarkable group of friends - Rupert Brooke (a poet), Russell and Wittgenstein (philosophers), Forster and Virginia Woolf (novelists), Keynes (an economist), and Augustus John (an artist). It was an idyllic period...
Overall, I can hardly wait to see what the UK and Europe has to offer, but I have a final and paper to write this weekend, so I better get moving...

Mike,
When we were in Cambridge for our virgin voyage, Joy said for F's sake several times. And I heard a bloke congratulate his girlfriend by saying, "Well Done, girl, Well Done."
So Mike- Well Done my boy, Well Done!
