Home Sweet Cambridge 2.0

Now that we've got all of our ducks in a row....

...yuck yuck yuck...hmm, sorry...

Here's where we live! This is Queens' College boathouse, we live in one of the apartments on the second floor. We have a balcony...except we are on the opposite side of the boathouse (e.g. not facing the river Cam).
We love where we live. There are nice footpaths that run alongside the river for miles in both directions (we've experienced a vast number of those miles first hand getting ready for our Athens Marathon on Nov. 8!!). Also, we've learned that if one was to purchase a houseboat they could live on the river Cam all year long without having to pay any kind of property tax. Evidently it's a pretty popular lifestyle choice.
Cambridge also has an abundance of huge parks (more specifically known as a Common, Piece, or Green). For example, in one direction along the river is Midsummer Common. In the other direction, we walk through Jesus Green to get to the center of town. As you can see from the number of pictures we've taken, it's pretty picturesque....(punny, I know).
Lastly, Rob wants me to document an experience we had while taking some of these pictures. This swan came swimming up the river and kept coming until it was right in front of us. Of course, I had to go be IN the picture with it to we prove how close it was. Obediently, I go sit down next to it. When I stand up I realize I've sat in a large pile of swan/duck poop. Rob thinks it was worth it for the picture (and hilarious in its own right)...I'm not so sure.

Here are some more...the slide show might take awhile to load completely...but if you have the patience to wait, enjoy!
