Well, our time here in the U.K. has nearly come to an end. In my class, we've all been expressing our mixed feelings about leaving--missing home and loved ones, but not ready to give up all the great opportunities and experiences available here. Today I took everyone on a rather long hike around downtown London, looking at Shakespeare memorials and doing a bit of visual analysis of them. As we went from statue to statue, we saw some of the iconic markers of London: The Globe Theater, St. Paul's Cathedral, Fleet St., The Strand, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Chinatown (yummy lunch there!), Whitehall, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, and the National Theatre. Needless to say, our feet are sore, our minds are full, and our hearts are a mix of emotions. What I *can* conclude though, is that we take home a lot of good memories of our travels here--the museums, the castles, the tours and lectures, the plays (good, bad, and strange--Swan Macbeth?! Urban Streetpeople Midsummer Night's Dream?!), the Scottish countryside walk, the jokes (also good, bad, and strange).
I hope everyone's had as good a time or better than I have had these four weeks! See you back home.
