English Excursion

Rabbits.  Everywhere.  This is taken at a hotel in Peterborough, UK.

The next photos are of our little excursion to Cambridge - home of University of Cambridge.  

The university is in different locations throughout the city rather than one main campus.

This is the entrance to Christ's College and it opens up into . . .

this pretty courtyard.

The streets were lined with nice old buildings like this one.

Jim captured this bird in flight while documenting the perfectly blue sky - a rare occurrence in the UK!

Re-purposed church

We peeked inside what we thought was a chapel, but turns out it's a . . .

cafe.

This is King's College from a distance.

It was closed on the day we visited because of exams.

This whole area is for pedestrians and cyclists only which is really nice because the rest of the city has serious traffic problems.

King's College close up.

This is called the Corpus Clock outside Corpus Christi College, part of Cambridge University.  It was funded by Cambridge alumnus, John Taylor at a cost of one million pounds.

We enjoyed lunch at this little restaurant across the street from the Corpus Clock.

Jim took several photos of the head on this Guinness - it has a shamrock, but hard to capture in a picture.

The next day we visited London for an afternoon . . .

This is Covent Garden.

This is paella at Covent Garden.  Of course, we tried it.

We were so lucky.  Another beautiful day in England.

One of the many entertainment groups/individuals at Covent Garden.

Taken from Waterloo Bridge.

Street food.

This is the Olympic Stadium.  We stayed at a hotel just across the street from it.

Back in Hasselt celebrating Cinco de Mayo!
