When we were visiting the Gardens of Versailles, we were shocked to see the caretaker feed the swans left-over food, including pizza!

Origami in Tokyo.

Note: I’ve missed almost an entire week because I was sick and then just busy with work and life. It’s making me wonder about the 365 challenge and if it’s for me as I feel pressure to just select a photo, any photo, to share. And that makes it less fun for me. So I’m going to try for one more week and if it isn’t feeling good, I’ll turn it into a whenever-i-feel-like-it-travel-photo-blog.

In Japan, they have these areas outside building entrances where you can check your wet umbrella. Lock it up, avoid dripping water inside the building, and you know it will be waiting for you when you are ready to leave.

When I went punting in the rain in Cambridge, we passed this little blue door leading from one of the university colleges (unfortunately, I can’t remember which) and our guide stopped to share an amusing tale with us.

Apparently, for a few years, the running prank for freshers’ week was to change all the fire exit signs to point toward these little blue doors. Then in the middle of the night, the senior students would pile onto the bridge (which you can’t see here, but it’s just ahead) and wait as one of them pulled the fire alarm. Moments later, they’d watch and laugh as the half-asleep freshers ran out and fell into the cold water. It must have been hilarious to watch, but quite the experience for the freshers.

A random side street in Oxford, England.

Staying over for one night in Oxford was one of the best decisions I made on my trip as it gave me the opportunity to explore the city after the tourists had left in the evening. I was happy to get lost among the old buildings and streets - it’s a beautiful place.
