very music. so joy.

"An innocent girl 

entered the chapel, 

and the angels in the glass 

softly sang."

Second day in Cambridge. Could I love this city more?!?!

We performed a lunchtime recital at St. Mary's, which several of our new friends from Jesus College attended.

After that, we toured King's College (another one of the many colleges in Cambridge University). Wow. What beauty.

I've watched almost every single YouTube video of King's College Choir singing in the the King's College chapel, so when we got to go inside, I fangirled so hard. It was unreal.

The Chapel at King's College

During our free time, a few of us returned to that chapel to hear evensong. After, a couple of us were on some sort of choral music high and walked to St. John's College to hear *their* evensong (ahhh, British boys).

England has such wonderful choral tradition. Does everyone here sing?! Every college in Cambridge University has a choir, and at least the 3 I've heard have been absolutely amazing. I want this for America.

All that choral music made me hungry, and how could I have left England without having had fish and chips?

It was inevitable.

Dinner was good. The wine was good. England is good.

Some of us were tired.

The Wills. What good tour buddies.

Others of us weren't.

British Bartenders are wonderful. (Remember, Mom, I'm legal in this country)

Tomorrow, we leave Cambridge, stop by Stratford Upon Avon, and then head to London. Until then....

Much cuteness

P.P.S. Go here to read Will's post about Day 2 of our tour. You won't regret it; he is a far better writer than I will ever be.
