Well, we are now in our last week. Today, Sunday was a bit of a lazy day except for our trip into Richmond this afternoon. It is a lovely town on the banks of the Thames with shops, cafes and parks everywhere. We took the 65 bus (thanks Charisse for the tip) all the way from Kingston straight into Richmond and then just began walking by the Thames. We actually were looking for Mick Jagger but no luck. He does have a home here. Anyway we scoped out a place for a late lunch called the "Pitcher and Piano" where I finally had my fish and chips (fried fish and french fries in the US) right on the river. We walked around the town a bit but shops, etc. close here by 5 on Sunday so we headed back toward Kingston so we would have time to stop by the grocery before it closed.
Tomorrow we will probably head to the Kingston Monday market just to poke around and then get prepped for the last few days of class. Tuesday is the British Culture class, Wednesday my group goes to the Kingston Police Station for a tour, Thursday is the British Culture class, final exam and going away dinner and then Friday is our last day of class where the students will present their projects. Apparently we will have to leave VERY early for the airport Saturday morning. So with that schedule next week, I'm not sure how much more I'll blog. But keep checking - you never know!
CHEERS! (They really do say that!)
