Journal Entry 11: Bank Holidays and Relaxation

We had the day off from work at Anglia Ruskin University because it is a Bank Holiday in England.  Consequently, I decided to use today to relax (honestly my feet are still sore from London).  I watched the first Amazing Spider Man (it was okay) before heading out into Cambridge in search of food.

I decided to try to take some new routes to get to familiar places.  I have gotten very good at my ability to navigate the city of Cambridge, but I still obviously haven't seen everything.  While going about on one of my new routes I did encounter a nice little residential neighborhood.  The streets were very quiet there and it made for a pleasant walk.  When I got to Parker's Piece, I found tons of people lounging about on the grass, as well as some taking part in games of football, etc.  It provided a nice background for my little stroll. 

I also went about looking for train rates to Manchester next weekend.  After finding the rates, I realized they were a bit out of my price range.  Needless to say, I think I will be heading to the Medieval town next weekend!  I will be sure to post lots of neat pictures of what I discover there.

Song of the Day:  Radiohead - "Street Spirit"
