Well, I haven't been posting for quite awhile now, due to my trip to the London/Cambridge area for a wedding between the 25th and the 30th of July, and then trying to get back to some semblance of normalcy at work to catch up. Anyway, great trip - wore the GMT-Master II on the trip - natch!

Here are a few photos taken during the trip:

The church where the wedding was held in Cambridge:

The bride's father (left) with me just outside the church:

King's College, Cambridge:

Entrance to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where the reception was held (the bride & groom are recent graduates):

More photos of the Corpus Christi courtyard:

The bride and groom with my wife:

London - The Temple Church (hard to find):

Walking up The Strand/Fleet Street to St. Paul's:

Cheers, my friends! Enjoy!!

Thanks for sharing those pics with us, Allan. Beautiful place, I must say....but you still look like a tosser....even in that suit!!

LOL - no more so than you, Mr. Ersatz Kojack!

And yes, Cambridge is indeed beautiful. Photos do not do it justice. I'll post a second round of them shortly. I'll still look like a tosser, though...

That looks awesome, Allan. I really need to hit Europe soon!

Do indeed, Ruben. You'll love it, I'm sure. I really like the historical aspects of the UK and Europe. Marvelous!

Allan good pics of Cambridge. You were only 12 miles from Teofilo territory........
Did you go punting while you were in Cambridge ?

Thanks, Peter. We had planned to go punting with the bride's family, but time did not permit. I have promised myself to return to do just that, and to visit the other colleges of Cambridge as well, and not just Corpus Christi. Perhaps we can have a mini-GTG when I return!

Beautiful place, Cambridge!

Will do!

Looks like you had a great trip, Allan. Cambridge is a beautiful town and the University is just what you would expect from a British school of higher ed.

How did you get invited to the wedding?

Have any good fish & chips while you were there?

Lol-x · 6 August 2007, 10:10 PM

First class report and photo's Allan

Fish & Chips are a dish fit for a King (or a Prince

)

Thanks, Steve. The best Fish & Chips I've ever had were served at the Magpie (my friends from Richmond called it "The Thieving Magpie" because they thought the prices were too high) restaurant in Whitby, on the North Sea. The fishing docks were right across the street from the restaurant. EXCELLENT!!!

LOL - I just happened to be standing outside there with the father of the bride, Peter. The church is to the right of the photo.
