excursion

today I walked around Cambridge in a reverie, trying in vain to visualize how it would be to live in a place where impossibly ancient cobblestones and churches coexist (seemingly effortlessly) with electronic stores and ice-cream vans. I suppose I will find out this October, but none of it seems real yet, and the glorious summer sunshine drenching everything in postcard hues cannot be said to have helped much.
