Well, we are here! We're in Cambridge, England until mid November, while Raf is doing an internship. It wasn't necessarily smooth sailing: a bummer of a rental car issue, a cancelled flight and a night in New Jersey because of it, luggage delayed two days and a sweetie wearing the same (very casual) clothes he started the journey in for his first day of work! The good news is: it is incredibly pretty here, people are so, so friendly and being a vegetarian is easy as can be. We also rented bikes (cruisers with baskets!) for the duration of our stay, we got a bank account, and cell phones. We have a temporary place to stay (in a modest flat in one of the local colleges) until the end of September, and then we have to find another accommodation because students will be arriving and taking it over. Finding a place here, time of year, as a couple, and for a short term is HARD! We have been looking and looking but nothing at all yet. We are meeting people though, and I think that is probably half the battle. Fingers crossed! For now, I'm just spending my days walking around and marveling at the rich and beautiful history of this special, special city.
