The Market

The Cambridge market had a wide variety of things to buy. Though I didn't get anything from there, I came close several times. From fresh food to Banksy sweaters, it was hard not and I still don't know how I managed to get out of there without both.

Punting

While punting on the Cam there are a number of awesome universities to look at from the river. I found a few other things that are easy on the eyes and saw one thing that was just bizarre. Extreme Ironing. These extreme women were making everyday moments extreme to show that for some people it is pretty extreme to daily things.

Bikes of Cambridge

I love bikes and they were everywhere in Cambridge.

More stuff from the river.

Graffiti Guy

Enjoyed watching this guy do graffiti at the skate park on the south bank of the River Thames.

Changing of the Guard and the Superhero Fun Run

At the super hero fun run most of the runners were dressed as either Superman or Batman (Batman is better). There were a number of people dressed otherwise out of the almost 1,700 attendants. A clown even crashed the run, apparently not realizing that he had, he slowly shuffled across the finishing line with his box of gags.

The Changing of the Guard was slightly less exciting. Waiting an hour and a half for something to start under the threat of rain was not pleasant. A group of Spaniards behind us did not seem pleased that we beat them to the fence. When something finally occurred, we got all the photos that we could and then quickly got out of there before we ended up squished against the fence.

London EYE

I was going to going to ride the London Eye until I realized that there was a line to get tickets and then another line to get on the actual eye itself. Also I'm frugal and it costs 17 pounds.

Sulgrave and Blenheim

Sulgrave Manor and Blenheim Palace had many different sights from architecture to gardens. They even had ANIMALS there.

Picadilly and Trafalgar

Picadilly Circus and Trafalgar square are both points of interest for tourists in London. This also makes them targets for performers, though the quality and type are very different. The sites seen from both locations are also quite different. At Piccadilly you can find tourist stores and fast food like KFC, whereas at Trafalgar Square you can see Big Ben at a distance and there are several places to eat that are less typical for a tourist to visit.

Portobello Market

At Portobello market there are many shops and vendors to choose from. However, many of the people who run the stores and shops would prefer if photos were not taken. Most of these shots had to be taken from the hip so that no one was aware they were actually being taken.

Architecture

Many of the buildings in England are incredibly old and filled with history.

Lights

While in London there were a number of lit up spaces and lights. Some seemed to have little purpose while others were meant to attract or advertise. Some attracted people you wouldn't want to spend the afternoon with.
