Cambridge!

So these our the pics from our Cambridge trip: Burr, Anne, and Ed. Ed is Burr's fraternity brother, for those who do not know. He is moving to London - YEAH! I love hanging out with him - so laid back and fun. So the 3 of went there - This is the hill (quite windy! but a great view) This is the mathmatical bridge - really cute huh?
Punting! Or as I kept calling it, bunting! Burr was getting so mad at me because I kept calling it the wrong thing - haha. This little man pushes this stick intot he water and manuvers his way around. The most interesting thing was this was obviously the end of this guys' "shift" and he did not want to deal with the morons who thought they could "punt" themselves - who were just floating around in the middle of the river - so our guy would just smack right into their boats, make them smack into the wall without as much as a sorry and continue on his talk regarding cambridge and the history - SO FUNNY



Trinity College - Anne and Burr


The only part of the story I forgot to tell, which Burr would probably mention, is that I was a total drill sergent for the first half of the day! I printed out a walking map with 16 items we needed to see and within the first 1.5 hours we had been to 10! Burr was like - you are scaring me! The goal is not to see everything!!
MY favorite part of the day might have been when the men decided to grab a pint * and I went shopping. I found the cutest littel boutique and got this red sweater dress and tights. LOVE IT! Don't ask how much it was in £ - ugh exchange rate!
*Burr said 1 pint, so I returned in 20 min, to see they had ordered pint number 2, so again I returned in 20 min, to find they had ordered a 3rd pint!! So - I finally SAID this is the LAST one - I want to punt.
So we punted and then literally RAN to the train station to fly onto the last train - whew.
