22 American Cemetery in Madingley September 8

Is the phrase “no rest for the weary” or “no rest for the wicked”? Either way probably fits me. After a long day in Lincoln we slept in our bed and after breakfast we set out again. This trip was to the university city of Cambridge.

As we drove into Cambridge we paid a visit to the American Cemetery in Madingley, England. With a bus full of 19 and 20 year old kids I was not sure what connection they would have with a war that was waged some 60 or so years ago. But it was a very moving experience. Our bus pulled in along with a slow parade of other tour buses. There was almost no talking and when people did speak it was in hushed tones. Let me share with you as we experienced it. We walked around and we read.
