As of right now, it's 6:34 PM here and we're fighting over what's left of a Gardetto's bag and waiting for Leland to return from his rowing practice. In our first day, which has been filled to the brim, we have participated (I even gave it a go) in one of Cambridge's Queen's College's most common pastimes: Pimm's and Punting with Dave, who is apparently a novice History Guide as well (and arguably the coolest of Leland's friends here, partly because he is the only one we've met). Consisting of purchasing a beverage (similar to maybe a SoCo and Lime, but sweeter and with fresh fruit) and rowing up and down the Cam river with a pole, I guess like the ones you see in Venice (btw hence the name Cambridge I'm told), punting is relaxing yet adventurous. Following this, we visited the King's College chapel, listening to a selection of chorus music, and managed to get lost on the way back to Caa's.
As we wait for Leland, I try and fight the sleep that I so desperately need, and look forward to enjoying the Pints that soon await our arrival at the The Anchor (yes, a local pub). Perhaps a later post of more interesting nature will follow, which will include pictures and visual aids in the previous descriptions. Cheers! (apparently Leland is English and uses this term wildly).
