The End. Almost.

Wednesday was the beginning of the end...our last daytrip. *Really sad face* They are tiring and long but we get to see so much in one day. And I don't mind the long coach rides, actually I really like listening to my ipod and falling asleep on the person's shoulder next to me. But today was the last time that will happen.

But not really, because we're going on a five day trip to the North next week so we'll be on the bus for a long time. Longer than I want to be...but anyway. There's no free time here anymore because everyone is realizing how little time we have left here (including the professors) so this is my quick summary of our daytrip.

St. Alban's Cathedral

We've been talking about this Cathedral in our classic civilizations class so it was even more meaningful seeing it with my own eyes after reading about it in our little green book.

The pillars in every cathedral are absolutely gigantic...they remind me of the redwoods in California. I love them, as you can see.

Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial

The men and women who died for our country in foreign lands are commemorated here. Our guide told us the stories of a few individuals and it just makes you realize that even though all you see are names, each one had a story. Each had a family and a life and gave it up for us. I'm thankful for everyone who has sacrificed for our freedoms, we are forever indebted to them.

I want to go to Arlington National Cemetery now. This is just a small one...puts things in perspective doesn't it?

Cambridge University

We went to the King's College chapel, home of the world's largest fan vault ceiling! Cool huh? That's right it is! I love just sitting in the pews and trying to soak the architecture in. You can't, it's just too incredible.

Here's a part of the campus...I can't believe students get to go here everyday for school. How amazing would that be?! Very.

We went punting! It's a long flat boat...almost like a gondola. I went on a relaxing boat ride down the river with a few girls while a funny guy who goes to the university got us down the river with his long stick and told us about the history of the town.

That's where the second year students live. If only the housing at BYU were like that.

We just walked around the town until it was time to go back to the coach. Everyone rides their bikes there and they all have wicker baskets...it's so cute. I want to live there just so I can ride my little bike around the cobblestone streets. Someday...
