| Morning in Cambridge with Kings College in the background |
Carole joined us this Saturday morning for breakfast at the “buttery”, which is in Memorial Court near Mark’s classroom at Latimer Room. After breakfast, the three of us took a long walk through Cambridge – we figured out that unlike Davis, UCLA and Berkeley, Cambridge and the town of Cambridge are intertwined, with colleges, museums, and administrative offices mixed with shops, restaurants and stores. This afternoon, Mark and Carole greeted their incoming (well-traveled and tired) UCD students. Tomorrow, we meet after breakfast for a two-hour tour of Cambridge. Today was beautiful – clouds, sun, breezes, and comfortable temps. Enjoy the photos!

When you realize that St. Mary's is older than the Magna Carta it's mind boggling that it's still standing and looks to be in great shape. I hope that some of our buildings here will be able to stand that test of time. Love the short door to your classroom, Mark. When you realize that folks were quite short back then being taller today is a testament to our healthy evolving status. Now, if we could just get a handle on the obesity problem.
