I haven't blogged in so long--the past half-year has been so filled with the worries and joys of finding jobs that chronicling the experience was far from my radar screen. However, I've decided it is a good exercise to put oneself out there in writing for other people to read, so hopefully I can be a lot more regular.My parents arrived on Tuesday en route to their new life in Kosovo. We have SO enjoyed just having them around and seeing Cambridge anew through their eyes. It's weird how my eyes were so dimmed to what a cool place Cambridge is--there is so much living history all around. I think that the uniqueness of our four years here will continue to sink in more and more as we prepare to leave and continue our lives in a very different setting. We will be moving to Qatar in February--the whole idea seems so adventurous! I'm looking forward to experiencing the enchantment of a new place.
The parents and I have particularly enjoyed sampling afternoon tea at various Cambridge establishments. So far, we have been fairly impressed with the Michaelhouse Cafe, though I think the clotted cream was better at The Orchard. Fitzbillies was too crowded to venture in at this time of year, so the joys of Chelsea Buns will have to wait.

We also have enjoyed being with Anna and Todd; Sarah, Gabe, and Julian before that, getting rested up to start anew in Kosovo. We weren't able to visit Rachel and Christian before we left, but then, they were in Spain. We did get to see Darrel's mom and my parents, too, before we left, and that was good.
ReplyDeleteMmmm! Those afternoon teas were great! Can't wait for the Chelsea Buns.
