Three Months in Albion

21.06.12 - (Chestnut Grove, Cambridge, UK) - I wake to the sound of rain. Hello England.

The view from my window, 21.6.12 (rainy English morning)

Cambridge is very quiet at night. It reminds me of Idaho. Once I have my coffee and force myself to write this blog post, I realize I can hear the traffic on Chesterton, but only just. Mostly, birds, whose genus and species are foreign to this North American. They're less abusive than Idaho's magpies or Washington's crows. They're flighty and skittish in the light drizzle. I hear an owl out in the distance.

I'm planning on taking a long walk around Cambridge and seeing the area. I might do a tour. So far, the only food I miss from Seattle is the coffee.
