The morning of Saturday, or rather afternoon, brings the excitement of another day of tasting pints and sampling what can be referred to as "English Food." Last night we were entertained by the Darwin College, a newer college at the University of Cambridge, having a formal three course meal with Sherry and Port to begin and end the meal, respectively.
As always, I was trapped by an over-talker, which seems to haunt me even across the Atlantic, and got my first taste of how much America is actually disliked. I had to sit through the usual, why don't you do this, you should do that, blah blah, but it was interesting enough for me to offer a few replies on the behalf of my country. Leland assured me that it is a regular occurrence, but it dwindles after a while.
Other than that, we were able to hang with Leland's class mates, from China, UAE, Virginia, and Australia (They're in the group pic, notice Erin and I having "put together" outfits of borrowed jackets and shoes from Leland's friends). We enjoyed beverages at the DarBar, and even shared a conversation over a glass of wine on the Cam river; delightful. There will certainly be more to come, and post some comments people jeez...Cheers!
I know ya'll are having a great time. Reading your blog is providing some relief from my oh so boring night at work. I am soo jealous (read in a very southern accent, one which I hope you are using over seas) I miss you both!
