It's so GREEN!






'Ello folks.

Ok, really I've only heard one guy talk like that. So I got up to Cambridge today, and it is exactly like the pictures! It is so beautiful here, I love it.
So yesterday, I went to Wimbledon, which was cool. Really, I just took the bus to the door, took some pictures, and took the bus back to the subway, or Tube, station. Then I went to church at this ward I found on the internet. It was really nice, and then on my way out, I saw Donny Osmond and his family. It took me a second, and I did a double take because he was wearing shades. He is a celebrity, you know. I went back to the hotel and watched the rest of the Wimbledon match (it was a good one!) and then I had this crazy expensive dinner at the hotel restaraunt, but it was good.
This morning, I took the train (interesting with 3 bags. . .heavy bags. . .but I was blessed with nice people at just the right times) here to Cambridge, it took about 45 minutes. I took a taxi to my college and found that I was room D19. . .I was thinking, Sweet! First floor! But here, it doesn't work that way. I am on the 4th floor. Yes. That was when I really realized how heavy my bags were. But my room looks out onto the court, which I love. Dinner was like something out of Hogwarts, without the magically appearing food and floating candles, where we were served three courses at a sit down meal. 4 if you count the coffee after. We had an orientation meeting and now it is time for bed. So cheerio but be back soon! (If I get that song in my head tonight I'll be so mad I put that.)

Oh, I'm jealous. I'll fly you to NYC to take my engagement pictures...spring time in NYC? ; ) We'll make it a date...well, kind of, Allen probably should join us. I don't think Jet Blue flies to London, all that green would be fab on my invites, don'cha think? I'm so glad you're having fun and meeting nice people to help you get around. I'm excited to read about more grand adventures! Carpe Diem!

Biphee...AHHHHH, I'm so jealous right now. So many memories are flooding back to my mind & heart...I love, love England as you already know. It's beautiful, it's green & sometimes,...I just changed what I was going to say because I didn't know who would be reading this. Anyway, I hope you soak in everything you can about that place...lots to see, lots to do & LOTS to enjoy!!! If you ever get over to the Maidstone way, let me know & I'll try to hook you up with some of my friends to stay with. I'm sure they'd love to have you! Just give me some notice! While you're there, go see...oh no, it's left my thoughts...I can't think of what it's called...I know it's Hathaway's Cottage...where Romeo & Juliet was written & performed...OH, I CAN'T REMEMBER what it's called...anyway, I think you'd love it. Lot's of places to take photos! Also, right in London...get hooked up with one of those city bus tours because I believe you can still get on & off at the tourist stops. If you get a chance & can afford it...go see Les Mes there...oh buddy, there's nothing like it in England. I saw it 3 times there. Ahh, I'm so jealous & wish I were there to show you all the cool things. I hope you enjoy your time over there! I love ya & miss ya...I know, we didn't get to really see each other before you left but I can still miss ya!
Duzz

Biph I am loving your blog. It looks so picture perfect there! You need to get someone to take pictures with you in them (you totally should have asked Donny to snap a photo of you, bet he doesn't get that a lot :) Keep having fun and keep posting. Cheerio!
