Last Saturday was the Oxford vs. Cambridge boat races, where the women's team and the men's team from both universities compete in an event that I can only compare to the Kentucky Derby.
I make this comparison because we started the day early, much like the Derby {my heart still loves this American event more, by the way}. We took our spot by the bridge about 4 hours before the race. During this time, we enjoyed the sunshine with some new friends, doing what the English do best: participating in the pub culture.
