Cambridge

So, I'm in Cambridge now. It is beautiful here! Probably one of the prettier places that we've been on our trip. A few days ago we went on a tour of Cambridge University and got to see some of the Colleges. I also got to go into Kings College Chapel which I will probably be making many trips to. That is the singularly most beautiful building that I have ever been in. They have this magnificent fan vault ceiling and even this giant and priceless picture by Rubens. I wish you could all see it.
Right now the weather has taken a turn for the worst but it is supposed to be sunny and beautiful this weekend and a few of us are going to make a trip out to the orchard. I just know that it will be the most beautiful place. I'm really excited go to. It's about a three mile walk each way (it's actually in another little town) but it will be totally worth it to just sit by the blooming apple blossoms. :)
So that's all that I've really be doing in Cambridge. I've been sick still so it's been tiring to go out for very long. I probably will go to another used book store today. I bought this beautiful copy of The Three Muskateers for only £4! Yay for used book stores. :)
I am definitely nearing the end of my trip here and will be home in less than two weeks. Part of me is ready to be home and part of me just wants to stay here forever. :) It's strange to think that I only have a few things left to do for school too. A couple papers and finals and then I'm done with my college career. I don't think it's hit me yet and probably won't until I get back but there it is.
At any rate, that's what I've been up to. I have to go write my paper now. I hope everyone is doing well. See you all soon.

Cheers!
Kris

Someday lets go back together. You can show me your new stomping ground.

...especially Ireland. I'm still a little bitter you went there without me.
