Greetings from Cambridge

Sorry for the radio silence on all fronts. We have a badly behaving router so we often lose the connection.

A few observations:

• The pound is dropping daily...a great excuse to use credit cards so you can take advantage of the better exchange rate.


• Brown and black are interchangeable. You can wear an entire black outfit with brown shoes and apparently this is acceptable. I don't pretend to understand.


• All women, old and young alike, wear fun socks and tights. I am not a freak. I simply live in the wrong country.


• Chicks here wear the BEST boots but the boots in the shops are all ugly. Quite mysterious.


• Nobody uses cell phones on the train...even though the ride is well over an hour. Now, I'm not saying that people are more polite. I've been slammed into and cut off more on this trip than in my entire life but people are incredibly polite with cell phones on trains.
  
• Bikes and buses share the same lane. Therefore, you will often see a cyclist dressed in business attire, on a fairly old bike (also common here) with a basket on the front being followed by a double-decker bus.

Alright back to my maid of honor duties...
