Day 15! So I went to Cambridge... and they did not let me in. Most of the colleges were closed due to final exams. Thus, I finally understand how the characters from National Vacation must have felt. Regardless, Cambridge is a beautiful town and the weather was perfect that day. No rain! First, after getting my picture with all of the famous colleges that make up Cambridge University, or rather the gates leading to the colleges, Katie and I went to a local mark...

Day 14! So today, I took a shuttle to the train station, rode the train to Chesterfield, walked a couple blocks to a bus station, took a bus to Baslow, walked on a public footpath to Chatsworth park, and walked through the park to Chatsworth. Then did the opposite on the way home. I think I'm getting pretty good at this transportation thing. But, Pemberley, I mean Chatsworth, was absolutely stunning. I was speechless all the way through.

You really cannot go wrong with anything Cadbury. The chocolate pictured has Oreo creme and cookie inside the chocolate. But...

I went into the Sheffield museum and toured its current exhibits. One was on birds and several paintings...

I also planned a trip to Spain later on in my trip. We will see how much I remember from Spanish class. (Wish me luck Profe!) Other than that, I did nothing, and I am okay with that! I will be visiting 4 cities in 5 days starting tomorrow and will need all my energy for that. Wish me l...
