Cambridge Snapshot

Since my last post summer has finally arrived here in Cambridge. Now it's so hot that everyone is seeking shade, both man...

and beast.

At last, this Wednesday the kids had their last day of school before summer vacation. A few days before their last day though, the "get ready for back to school" ads went up. That's not right.

This store window makes me smile, because apparently the folks at Ted Baker and I are going to very different barbecues.

The food truck trend has hit Cambridge. Mike and I went to the Friday gathering and were both very impressed with our meals. Look how cute their trucks are too! I was too full to try the gelato this time, but notice the oh-so-English flavors.

By mid-July the university students are clearing out of town, only to be replaced by hoards of study abroad and tourist groups. 

The summer flowers are all abloom. 

The houses are thick with ivy. 

July marks the beginning of Cambridge's Shakespeare festival. Mike, Camille and I went to see A Midsummer Night's Dream the other night. We had a great time. It was well-acted, funny and presented in a beautiful garden on a warm summer night to boot.

And that's about all that's going on here at present. Just enjoying the long, lazy days and counting down to summer trips and visitors!
