Historical Cambridge Walking Tour

I'd thought I'd provide a photo essay of our walk into historical Cambridge from our house. We live on the east side of city center and it takes a good 20 minutes to walk from our house to the University of Cambridge colleges, which are on the west side.

There is tons of traffic in Cambridge and parking is a pain. We have learned both of these things the hard way, therefore resorting to the fact that we will never be driving into the center of town. There really is no need to anyways. The walk is manageable and we always have the bus or biking as another option. 

On our way in this particular late morning, we stopped at a delicious Turkish cafe for breakfast. I had discovered this place on my own one day and wanted Jason to try it. The owners are very friendly and the food is fresh and flavorful. Plus, it's only about a 7 minute walk from our house.

Parker's Piece is a huge park in the center town, which also serves as a thoroughfare for pedestrians and cyclists.

Cycling is a huge part of the Cambridge culture. There are tons and tons of bicycles everywhere!!

Who doesn't love a little city flare? He would fit in well at the market in Seattle.

King's College, bustling with eager tourists.

More bikes.

More punters along the River Cam.
