We've spent the majority of our time on buses in the past few days, so it's a good thing that I still love sitting on the top floor! We've been told that bus number 3 will become our best friend, but at the moment buses are seeming more confusing than anything- they all have different numbers and road names and on top of figuring out that, there's deciding which direction you need to go, which side of the street to stand on, trying to read military time to figure out when which bus will be there, and then trying to figure out which stop you are sitting at. It may seem like common sense, but it's exhausting! In between bus rides we've gotten to explore Cherry Hinton, the City Centre, and Homerton College, as well as many other areas of Cambridge. Everything is beautiful! And the sun does shine in Britain! (Although only for a few hours a day.) The funniest thing we've found so far? A Magic Corn stand with something like 30 different flavors of corn! Corn seems to be a pretty big deal around here - there is also a Corn Exchange Centre. It's tiring walking to and from bus stops, around and around in circles, but so much fun to see everything and very slowly (emphasis on slowly) learn our way around! Tomorrow we're going to see more of the University at an Evensong at Clare College and then we're going to dinner at The Eagle with our Professor!
