Gateway to King's College.
Beautiful latticework leading into Clare College.
Our second day here took us on a literary tour through Cambridge town centre. We were introduced to trivia such as the house where Charles Darwin used to stay, bridges that are meant to be built without bolts, various colleges where famous personages have studied (and we don't mean just academics and literary figures!)...it matters not we do not know all the names, the architectural magnificence of colleges is enough to impress, what would we give to be able to study here! Hard work and sweat, and no small amount of talent the teachers will no doubt tell us. To spend some of the best years of our lives in such venerable buildings, much needs to be sacrificed, but oh, how great the reward!
It was a little strange at first, seeing old buildings housing such modern shops, but no less charming for the juxtaposition. Buskers are all around town as well, flaunting their various talents for our coin.
Sunny days. The porter said we brought along good weather to Cambridge.
