One Perk of Not Having a Car

I walk a lot in Cambridge.  Sometimes I really miss my car.  Though I spend a lot of time (mostly in my head) complaining about how much I hate having to walk everywhere—back and forth and back and forth from my hostel to my college to the store to the pub (okay that I really shouldn’t be driving to and from anyway)—it’s actually really good for me.  First of all, I’m pretty sure I’ve already lost a pound just from walking everywhere.  Also, it’s better for the environment.  And it’s really just sensible for anyone living in Cambridge since parking sucks and some parts of the city are blocked off from cars. 

But I realized how nice walking is when I had to walk to my lectures yesterday and today.  You certainly wouldn’t get this view by driving on the road.

Yeah…I guess I’m pretty blessed.  Though I do still enjoy complaining about how much my feet hurt.
