Journeys for Knowledge

Today was a rather odd day. Not only did I not have to go into lab, but there were an unusually large amount of people swarming Cambridge. Swarming is definitely correct word, for even a simply walk to the park took an hour because of the barricades and crowds of people awaiting the beginning of the Tour de France stage. The riders were starting in Cambridge and making their way to London, something that is unlikely to happen again for quite some time. Unfortunately this unique experience was marred by the sheer commercialism permeating every little aspect of the race. Still, I found a simple joy in being able to eat a true French baguette with lunch, and appreciate just how quiet of a town Cambridge really is, even on a busy day.
