Yesterday was a bank holiday, so I caught a train up to Cambridge and spent the day with my friend Kate. Kate and I met on a training program and travelled to China and Thailand together two years ago. We've stayed in touch, and finally had a chance to see each other in person. It was a great day! It was so relaxing to get to spend the day with someone who has known for several years, who has seen me at my best and at my worst, and is still my friend! After all the first impressions of the last two months, it was so nice to have the comfort of familiarity.
Cambridge is only a 45 minute train ride from London, and Kate met me at the station. We wandered around Cambridge for a few hours. I think my IQ increased just from breathing the Cambridge air :) The university aspect of Cambridge dates back to 1209, if my memory is correct, and the buildings are fantastic.
