Punting

Punting = a relaxed, romantic, meandering float down the River Cam behind the Colleges at Cambridge meant to open your mind and enlighten your intellect.

And it is also a lot of fun!

Dustin was a natural - he did a great job punting me around. Nice break for me!!!

It was nice to have our friends Jordan and Katie come along as well.

I didn't do too badly... I only ran into the side of the Cam once :)

Aah... I love Cambridge. We LIVED here! There is nowhere else in the world quite like this.

So. much. HOMEWORK!

So, if you Skyped with us you know that we spent lots and lots and LOTS of time in the libraries at Cambridge - we know them really well by now. These first ones are of Pembroke - the library by our room. It is quaint and very comfortable to be in.



The next ones are King's College Library. It is a bit bigger and had computers inside the library so we spent a lot of time here. We pulled a couple all-nighters here and then had to wake up the night porters to unock the main gate for us to go home. Good times.

The Candyman Can :)

We are sorry we got so far behind on our blog. This week we'll post a bunch of last-minute wrap-up posts - beginning with this old-fashioned candy shop.



Yes, we walked in as the Willy Wonka "The Candyman Can" was floating up the spiral staircase past the walls and walls and walls stacked from floor to ceiling with CANDY! Seriously felt like we were in a movie.


We forgot to take pictures, but they had all the "normal" Harry Potter candy: Sherbet Lemons, Mars Bars, Fizzing Sherbert, licorice wands, etc. So much FUN!!
