Last week my boyfriend Aart and I were in Cambridge together for a very short getaway, our first trip together. It was a lovely time. Every day we strolled into the old town to explore shops, taste the local eateries and gaze at the stately old colleges that give Cambridge its fame. Thanks to a tip from a local reader (thanks, Lucy!) we also found ourselves off the beaten path in the greens behind the colleges. That was my favorite part! Here are some sights that inspired me in Cambridge.
