Wow, time has been flying the past few days. London was great. I had so much fun and saw so many different things. I especially loved that the museums are all free. I highly recommend the Tate Modern and National Gallery.

A rather strange piece at the Tate modern.

I also really enjoyed the tower of London. Even if it wasn’t free. Definitely take part in one of the yeoman warder tours, included with the ticket. They are both entertaining and informative.

Gates of the tower.

We took the train out to Cambridge and met up with some good friends who are graciously hosting us. I had an incredible day. We started with a wonderful lunch at a pub on the river. Then we went out punting, which was a ton of fun.

Paul and I, I’m punting!

After this we visited the museum, which had a decent collection, especially of Cezanne.

We went from the museum to kings college chapel for choral evensong, which was absolutely gorgeous. The chapel and the choir.

We had dinner, then went to see te Murray Watts play: Mr. Darwin’s Tree. It was a fantastic one-man play. Great writing, and brilliant acting and blocking. I loved it.

Yes, Cambridge has been a lot of fun. We are off to Edinburgh tonight. Should be fantastic.

One more from the Thames.
