Taking over England (or wherever): Giant Photo Blog 5 – The Cambridge Tour Edition

So, because I can't sleep and I know this is the photo blog you've all been waiting for...I present to you the Cambridge Tour Edition.  (We took a brief, 2-hour, walking tour of the city centre and some of the colleges as part of our Freshers' week festivities today).  You can find all the pictures on Picassa.


But first, a few notes.

-  I stumbled upon the Cambridge equivalent of the Q yesterday!!  (For you newbs, please see this post as a point of reference.)  Needless to say I jumped all over that.  Happy to report that it was pretty decent.  Main difference was that they only had pinto beans and the veggie burrito came with yellow bell peppers.  And the rice had corn in it...which isn't surprising since they love corn over here.  I mean, they really love corn.

-  My shoulder is a bit sore today.  Not sure why.

-  You'll be happy to know that a good portion of Cambridge students enjoy getting crunk...just like their American counterparts.  Otherwise though, they seem to be generally more interesting.

Ok, on to the pictures...
