King's College at Cambridge University


The thing that really struck me about visiting Cambridge was that everything was so old. The school was founded in 1209 making it nearly 800 years old. UC San Diego where I attended school just turned 40. Pretty ridiculous. This was the first point on my trip where it really struck me as to how old things in Europe are relative to things in the U.S. I also visited the Fitzwilliam Museum in town which had a large collection of Illuminated Manuscripts from the middle ages which were amazing.
