Bye Cambridge

This is Miriam, Diego and Leo at the bus stop about to leave Cambridge.

We'll be back soon. Graduation is in May 2009 but I probably won't wait that long. 

Last day at home

It's weird but for us "home" is not Sevilla anymore, is Cambridge. We are going to miss this city and our little flat. Somebody told me the other day that Cambridge is addictive, and I think it's true. It's a truly nice well-rounded city, especially for families. 

But tomorrow we are leaving for a week of holiday in Brittany (France) and then to our home in Spain, in Sevilla. 

Of course I'm looking forward to see some sun, family, friends, good food, and above all, I need to start working because unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees, not even in rainy Britain. 

Anyway, this is a picture of us at our porche. 

Kedington 5k

One more race in the UK. It's a pity I only found training partners and the right contacts to go to races so late in the year. But the training paid off and today I won the Kedington 5k. 

This is a very amateur race, with only about 100 runners, but in a very demanding course and with a few good runners. I think I did a good race, clocking 16:20 for the very hilly 5k in the outskirts of Kedinton, Haverhill, Suffolk, not too far from Cambridge. 

I went with Giulio, a running partner from Cambrige. Also Alessandro, another Italian, came to the race. Giacomo and Ben, the other running partners I found this summer were both on holiday. 

I don't have the results or pictures from the race, but as I wanted to test myself I wore my GPS-HRM-sport watch and here you can see all the data about my race. Below the graph showing heart rate, speed and elevation. 

The bin guitar player

This is one of the Cambridge legends. The guy playing the guitar inside a bin. And it's real. 

The picture above is mine, taken today.

Imperial War Museum - Duxford

We received another visit from the Pedrali family, my brother and sister in law and their three daughters from Italy. It was a good opportunity to do something together and we decided to go to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, very near Cambridge, on the way to Stansted Airport. 

My brother in law had already been there and it was a good idea to go again all together. It's a massive museum full of planes, tanks and other war vehicles. You can learn about the D-Day and Second World War, but also about commercial planes and the history of aviation. 

They also have historic planes still in working condition, and you can actually fly on them if you want. We didn't do it, but there were plenty of visitors and many did. 

The MBA year is almost over, and I'm quite busy finishing my IP, but we are trying to make the most of our time and taking some time off is always nice.
