Week 6 highlights

Not too much went on last week except for work, but here goes:

1) Pub quiz! Lots of fun and our team did quite well. Categories included art (we were given six paintings and had to identity the artist), geography (excellent trivia fact - Uzbekistan and Liechtenstein are the only two double-landlocked countries in the world), science, celebrities, and name that song (they actually played five second clips of the intro and we had to guess).

2) Tennis, which turned out to be a debacle because the group left without us and one of the PAs led us all over Cambridge to find them, and then when we finally arrived I was stung by a wasp. All in all not a very fun experience! Ah well. At least I know I'm not deathly allergic to stings now.

3) Dinner at The Anchor pub. Great view of the river, and wonderful atmosphere! My second favorite pub (after The Eagle) I have visited so far in Cambridge. Had a ploughman's board with delicious cheese too :)

4) Dinner at Sala Thong, a very popular Thai restaurant here in town. Excellent pad thai, and I am difficult to please coming from Bainbridge!

5) Dinner at Bill's, a funky free trade/organic restaurant here in town. Had butternut squash risotto, which tasted amazing after all the heavy/bland pub food. I guess I went to a lot of restaurants this week!
