And we watched some traditional Clog Morris dancers.
They danced to the rhythm of a band made up of different antique accordions and a few other instruments.
This picture is for Jim. Wouldn't you love to have a go on this!
We also watched a few dances down by traditional Morris Dancers (the non-clog kind)
and the Maypole Dance (a folk dance preformed all over Western Europe on this weekend since the 1700's. Although I bet it wasn't originally done to the music from River Dance like ours was :)
The next day we went to Cambridge (not too far from home). This is the sighing bridge (like the one in Venis). This bridge provides a walkway from the students' residence to their classes.
And went on a guided punt on the river Cam.
Wondered around the campuses.
I didn't realize that Cambridge isn't just one university. It's actually 20-some different totally separate colleges. All of which make up of a population of only 22,000 students. Which is less than the population of U of C.
It is a beautiful city filled with great buildings and a calm student-coffee-shop atmosphere.
The residence are so studious that the Waterstone's book store is open late and needs security to man all the people going in!
