Jesus dinosaurs in Cambridge.

Ella had to work at the Lush store in Cambridge for a day, so I went along for the ride.

I spent most of the day wandering around town and along the River Cam before finding a bench on the riverbank for a bit of reading and nap-taking.

Speaking of naps, the main thing I noticed about the town was its habit of naming things after that dude who took a three-day one.


A sign pointing to Christ's Pieces, one of the parks.

One of the colleges in the University of Cambridge is called Jesus College - because it's on Jesus Lane - but its full name is actually The College of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist and the Glorious Virgin Saint Radegund, near Cambridge. Fun fact from wikipedia: "The College was founded in 1496 on the site of a Benedictine nunnery by John Alcock, then Bishop of Ely. It has been traditionally believed that the nunnery was turned into a college because the nunnery had gained a reputation for licentiousness."

Also, there are dinosaurs on the college's lawn. Licentious nuns and Jesus dinosaurs...my kind of college!



It was a glorious day with beautiful skies - here are a few other pictures from my wanderings.
