Cambridge (not in MA) and Ely Cathedral
Yesterday, I took a Butler trip to Ely Cathedral and then the Town of Cambridge. At the beginning Becca was all upset because they told us we were traveling in a "coach" and she wanted a horse drawn coach, if they were going to say that. It was hilarious. Also we smelt toast and felted cheated because they didnt give us any. The Cathedral was beautiful, but they are starting to all look the same. Also it was freaking freezing and we found the huge ancient heaters in the cathedrals and huddled around them. I bought a couple postcards and then we ventured around the town of Ely to find lunch. We ended up eating reallly cheap and reaaaallly good from a bakery. I wish I could find bakeries in London that were that cheap. Then we got back on the bus and went to Cambridge and saw the universities. I was kinda disappointed because I was expected a Cambridge University but there isnt really. There are like 10 colleges in Cambridge that make up the University and no buildings to take a picture of that were Cambridge University. Just St. Johns University or Jesus College or Christ College (yes and they were located across the street from each other on the street called Jesus Lane). So we wandered around Cambridge taking pictures of the buildings which were awesome and kidding around about the names of the streets and places. Behind Jesus College there is Jesus Gardens that include a part called Jesus Ditch and Butt Green. and on Jesus Lane there was a Quaker meeting house named Jesus Lane Friends Meeting House. You would think they would relocate. And great tshirts in the window of this shop... "make tea, not war" "I love your mum" "I'm bringing sexy back, do you take refunds?" also an poster saying, legit, that someone lost a reindeer. All in all a ridiculous day. We laughed alot. the best part is "punting". In Cambridge and Oxford they have this activity which is rowing along thier rivers in these little rickety boats that you move along with a long pole and bump into the walls and other boats. this is called punting and is a huge deal at these schools. well we feel in love with the verb to punt and started inserting it into where the verb should be in all our sentences. "I'm gunna punt his ass" and "How you puntin' ?" The best was the cute British boy advertising renting our your own punt or taking a tour and he said "Hello, fancy a punt?" It was too funny. The day was just hilarious. I also bought earrings at a craft fair, they are pretty flowers made out of femo like clay.
