Well on our last night in London (Sunday) we decided to get together and meet at the Crypt at St. Martin's where we began our semester for some bread and butter pudding and hot custard. When we arrived, it was closed! Ferme as they say in French. I looked around to see if Jonathan Kennedy was nearby. As some of you know, whenever I travel or go anywhere with Jonathan everything and every place we go is usually closed. It is his curse. But he was nowhere to be found. So we decided to just walk around and take in the city for one last time. Here are some of the things we did and saw. Curtis, Ali, Bern, and Caitlin were going to leave the next day and Joe was leaving on Tuesday. I went to Roger's funeral the next day which had a very nice service and a Roger style party afterwards. We will miss him! I leave this coming Monday for Rhode Island. Spending the last few days packing things up, last minute Christmas shopping, last minute meetings, and putting things into storage for next year. Enjoy the photos!
How many SMU students can we pack into two British phonebooths!
