Oh ya, I go to Cambridge

Well this is gonna be a quick one. It is 11 and we have to get up at 4 to get to the airport to head off to Ireland tomorrow. Ireland should be awesome, but I'm scared I might frighten all of the irish people because they will think its the apocalypse when they see a zombie coming down the street.
But anywho.... We went to Cambridge today. How crazy! there is so much history there, it was all just too much to take in(or even remember). But the buildings are very cool. Their college system is kinda confusing though. There are like 30 different colleges that all belong to the Cambridge University. Theres more to it, but I just don't get it. haha! maybe when I have caught up on some sleep.
Then we went punting! It is just like a gondola. We all sat in the boat while the guide stood on the back of it and pushed us down the canal with a long pole. It was definitely fun.
British quote of the day-"So you go to a Uni"- ya we had no idea until they clarified by saying a University.
another great one was the "Brellie"- that is what they called the umbrella. haha

If you don't own a bike you can't live here. JK! but everyone there has one. I have never seen so many bikes before.
Kings College

I think this is the Kings college cathedral, but the fan vaulted ceilings are incredible!
These are the boats that we went punting on! So fun!
