Planning a party in Cambridge

We had a great day in Cambridge yesterday. My husband was a student there, and I met him there 25 years ago when I came over for a junior-year abroad.

It's a glorious place, and everyone seems so educated and articulate there. I knew I wasn't in Reading anymore when I saw a young man talking to a clerk in a record store about the merits of different Stravinsky recordings. Then when we went to a cafe for coffee, the people sitting next to us were talking about how to save rainforests.

We went to meet with some people about our 25th anniversary party in December. I found a wonderful venue. Here's a photo of the inside:



Best of all, my son fell in love with Cambridge too and has decided to study harder than ever at school so he can get in there himself. (It's harder for a camel to get through the eye of needle than be accepted at Cambridge, so we'll see...)

Nice! The stained glass window looks like it used to be in a church?

Yes, it's an old chapel on Trinity Street, across from Caius College.
