It's has definitely been a case of 'planes, trains and taxis' for us the last 24 hours. A delay in our departure from Cincinnati forced us to rebook - Cincinnati to Houston TX to London - 14 hours later we arrived at Heathrow Airport.  Then 3 trains and a taxi brought us to BEAUTIFUL Cambridge, England.  This place is spectacular - countless buildings, colleges and cathedrals dating back to the 1300's. 

We went 'punting' on the CAM river - a guy with a pole pushing us in a wooden boat along the river and pointing out all the historical colleges and chapels along the way.  Stunning! 

Since I had recently watched ALL 36 episodes of TUDORS on Netflix, the history of this place (and it's connection to Henry VIII, Cromwell, etc.) was so interesting!  Tonight we walked through several gorgeous old college and chapel buildings that someone had graciously (and probable mistakenly) left open.

Tomorrow afternoon we head to Spain to begin our hike.

Praying for everyone - the atmosphere here makes it easy to look up . . .
