Cambridge

Yesterday I awoke at 5:00am to start my journey to Cambridge with the other international students.
I had a blast in Cambridge even though we didn't technically "do" anything. Cambridge is well known for its prestigious college, well colleges really. Cambridge is made up of 31 different colleges and basically is like its own little town. Kelsey, Bernice, and our new friend Kathleen and I just decided we would walk around and explore the colleges and the surrounding little shops instead of spending money on tours and what not.
The campus was absolutely gorgeous, pictures will be coming soon. I felt like I was going to Hogwarts or something this big, old, beautifully sculpted buildings sitting among green grass and a beautiful river... I could never imagine going to school there.
After we toured around the campus a bit we headed into the shopping center, we came across a Starbucks and Kelsey and I finally got to have our chai lattes. I love my chai lattes and you cannot get them anywhere here, they are definitely overpriced but it was a nice treat to have!
The Starbucks was right across from this cute little street market where you could find produce stands, flower stands, just about any kind of stand, but my favorite one was this baked goods stand. As we walked passed the little stand I thought to myself "man I wish I wasn't allergic to muffins!" At that moment below every muffin sign were the words "wheat free." With that being said I order a banana chocolate wheat free muffin at it was absolutely delicious!
The rest of the day we just wandered around to different shops, we popped in a few chocolate stores because they were giving out free samples and then headed to a museum for our last activity of the day. One thing I love about England is that the majority of museums are free, and this one was no exception. It was a really neat museum it had all different time periods, Egyptians, Greeks, Medieval, and Asian it was really neat to see old paintings, sculptures, etc from these different cultures and it made me that much more excited to go to Greece!
After the museum we headed back to the buses but of course we stopped by the infamous Mathematical Bridge. Unfortunately it was closed so we couldn't walk on it but we could still take some beautiful pictures of it.
After our three hour bus ride back to Hull Kelsey, Bernice, Kathleen and I went and got some Indian take away (take-out) and watched a few episodes of Friends.
Last night was the first time I had eaten Indian food and I actually liked it!

Now for today, Valentine's Day! Bernice, Kate and I are going to to church this morning, back to City Life to give it a second try. After church the three of us plus Kelsey are going to go out to lunch at what is supposed to be a really good Mexican food place and then we are going to see the movie Valentines Day. I am really excited I have never had an all girls Valentines Day or whatever you want to call it and it should be a lot of fun!

Happy Valentines Day!
