Great day in Cambridge!

I had a lovely and interesting day in Cambridge with my friend and family. Early on Wednesday we went down East to visit the King's college chapel, one of Cambridge famous academic colleges and where the famous Carol service comes from every Christmas eve. There was a lot to find out about the time when Henry 8 was on the throne. Was interesting to see the initial of Henry VIII and the second wife Anne Boleyn were fund on the wooden panel in front of the organ. it's just because she was beheaded and Henry did remove all of their initial except in this chapel. Later in the afternoon, we visited the Fitzwilliam  Museum where there was an exhibition of painting, especially for Vermeer's women: the secret and silence.'The vivid realism of these paintings provides a remarkable window into the private world of women in the 17th-century Dutch Republic.'
