My cousin is stationed right outside of Cambridge, so, of course, I had to visit him. (But honestly, I didn’t need an excuse to see the town.) My time was brief; just enough to get a taste of the place. We stumbled upon their Food, Garden, and Produce Festival in Parker’s Piece where we got a taste of English food and the chance to hold an owl or falcon. We also walked into a craft fair with local artisans selling everything from pottery to fountain pens.
The main highlight, though, was going on a punting tour of the River Cam. The weather was beautiful and people were out in abundance. I, of course, took plenty of pictures.
