our adventure to cambridge

so yesterday we went to cambridge...it was pretty fun. come to find out that cambridge is a collection of 34 different colleges and they are just all in the same town. on our way there we stopped at an old roman ruins called verulium (i think thats how you spell it) and saw a museum that goes along with the ruins. we saw the remains of an old bath house.

after we walked to an old cathedral that was built some time in the 11th century. it was called st. albanes cathedral. it was so big, but they said that not that many people actually go to church there. as we were walking up to the cathedral, we couldn't see any thing because it was so foggy, and then all of a sudden there was a huge cathedral in front of us. it was really neat inside.

after the cathedral we went to an american war cemetary. it is one of only 14 cemetaries out side of the U.S.A. that americans are buried in from ww2. it was really neat, but sobering. there were around 3000 buried but then there were 5000 that were on the wall of the missing.

after the cemetary, then we went to cambridge. while we were there we went to the fitwilliam museum, which is a collection of pictures and artifacts from many different cultures.

then we just walked around the town for a while and shopped a little bit. at 4:45 we had to meet to wait for evensong that was in st. johns cathedral. it was neat, but it was pretty long and it was a full on catholic service, i didn't know that i would experience that at a byu study abroad. it was a good day but pretty long.
