Cambridge

I've been putting off sharing some of the lovely cities that we've been to in England so far and I'm not sure why. One of the first places Brandon took me when I arrived was Cambridge. The university town that is known for producing famous scientists and beautiful architecture. 

Speaking of architecture, I'm going to express an unpopular opinion. 

Cambridge is prettier than London. Gasp! I said it. 

Cambridge, with it's centuries-old buildings, punting on the river (boats with someone standing and paddling with a long pole that reaches the river bed), and cobblestone streets, is just one of the most captivating old places I've ever seen. This isn't the modern city of London and it is lovely. Cambridge is the place I would take any guests looking to see something quintessentially European. 

I know I haven't seen enough of Cambridge and with it being so close, I know many more day trips will come. One day I will figure out how to take decent photos with my iPhone (that maybe don't have cars and taxis blocking the shot).
