A Bike Ride Along the Cam







We've had 5 consecutive days of sunshine and we've been trying to enjoy every second!  Finally, it is overcast and so I'm taking time to share some more photos with you.  Last week I took a bike ride along the river Cam to get a feel for the countryside.  As soon as you leave the city limits, Cambridgeshire becomes very rural!  The first photo is our neighborhood.  This type of townhome is very typical for the area and we are lucky to be at the end of a row!  St. George's Church is just two doors down from us and has beautiful bells that chime on Sunday morning.   You probably know the reputation of Cambridge as a big rowing town and that is certainly true.  You see the men and women's teams out practicing in all kinds of weather.  The cows grazing along the Cam are a very common site (even in the greens within the city limits!) and most of the area outside of the city is agricultural.  The last photo was taken on a green within the city called Jesus Green.  When the sun comes out, people flock to these greens to picnic, read, or relax, including us.
