Cambridge Tour - by the River Cam

I don't think I've ever been to Cambridge before--lovely, lovely weather we're having. Martin took us around Jesus College, his alma mater built in the 12th Century, and offered us lunch at the refectory. Then, Jillian was pressed into service as our tour guide for the afternoon. We walked for miles and miles--all the way around the colleges. No wonder everyone is much skinnier here. Of course, we saw the Bridge of Sighs (this picture shows Queen Victoria's favorite spot), Heffner's Book Shoppe, and bought a ruffly dress at the market stalls. We spent a good deal of time at St. Catharine's College. She was a persuasive saint from the early years of the Church--St. Catharine of Alexandria. Meggar chose her as her confirmation saint name, and enjoyed taking notice of all the wheel symbols in the gate and in the chapel.
