Saturday we spent the day in Cambridge. It was only about a 25-minute drive to the park and ride, where we took the bus into the city centre. It was a cold, blustery day, but we managed to have a great time anyway.

We're really excited to go back in the spring and punt in the Cam when the weather is nicer. We've heard that a person hasn't really seen Cambridge until she or he has seen it from the river. But with the wind and threatening rain, we didn't brave it Saturday. As you can see by the many stationary punts, we weren't the only ones who decided to wait until the spring!
One memorable activity we did participate in was eating at Chili's. It was a nice taste of "home," and we were delighted that the salsa tastes the same as it does in the U.S.
As you can see from the photo below (taken from the top of Castle Mound), Cambridge is a series of incredible, beautiful buildings and churches; it was like stepping into a different world! We also enjoyed walking around the market and the various shops.
We anticipate many future trips to Cambridge, and we really enjoyed our first one!

What great pictures. I'm glad you had a good time in Cambridge! It's really funny that you found a Chili's . . .
