Visiting old colleagues

So, yesterday I went to Cambridge, to meet a lady I used to have a working relationship with when I worked at Amazon.

It was wonderful to meet R, and she took me to a lovely place called The Orchards, a literary hotspot back in the day, and then to lunch in a pub. I can't tell you how much I was dreaming of traditional British food when I was on my way here. I had a lovely steak and mushroom pie. Mmmmmmm.

I went in to storytelling mode, and we both had a good time laughing over my stories.

After, I walked around Cambridge a bit. Though, I didn't really want to pay to walk around the campus, so I didn't. Also, many buildings were just plain closed, as end-of-year exams are going on right now. Still, had a very lovely walk through a gorgeous park, had some student hit on me by speaking French to me, found a book that I've really been wanting to read and had a great time meeting R.

Interesting Cambridge tidbit: students are not allowed to drive. Hence, there are bicycles and cyclists *everywhere*.
