Day Off
These are my writings from England. Read them at your own risk.
Entry 1: September 12th -
September 16th.
Covers the departure and the first day of the first school week.
Entry 2: September 17th -
September 17th.
Includes a visit to Les Miserables, a trip to Greenwich and a bus
tour around London. I've also included a few thoughts on English
(London) food and the quirky money they use here. 8 different coins.
Seriously, count them. Count them all!
Entry 3: September 23rd -
September 26th.
Another week of school. Low-lights included having to walk around
London on Wednesday due to a tube strike.
Entry 4: Paris : September
27th - September 29th.
From the top of the Eiffel Tower to bottom of the catacombs, we
saw it all. Well, not 'all' in the sense of 'everything'. But 'all'
in the sense of maybe a couple of things.
Entry 5: September 30th
- October 10th
I'm getting kicked out cause I don't eat enough food?!? If it wasn't
so absurd, I'd be upset. Fortunately, things turned out well. Bon
appetit. Also includes me in the role of...Romeo!
Entry 6: Amsterdam : October
11th - October 13th.
Well, the name should say it all. Most of what goes on there would
be illegal here. Check it out.
Entry 7: October 14th - October
27th
A full two weeks are here. Read with caution.
Entry 8: October 28th - November
3th
A week off. The Tower Bridge.
Entry 9: November 4th - November
20th
Too much to mention.
Entry 10: Scotland: November
21st - November 23rd
The highlands, the lowlands, heery coos and Scotch. Possibly the
most fun I've ever had.
Entry 11: November 25th -
November 28th
School, movies and swing dancing. Oh what fun.
Entry 12: Normandy Landing
I return to France. Only this time it isn't Paris but the rebuilt
city of Caen and the World War II D-Day landing beaches.
Entry 13: One Week To Go
One last week of classes.
Entry 14: Wrapping Up
The Royal Ballet, the Tower of London and a final goodbye. |
