So the weekend that Sewanee was getting flooded with alums England was simply flooding. But, what made the rain better? Katherine and Liz came! We went clubbing and sightseeing and the theme was Sewanee Homecoming. We started out by going up to Hyde Park-bigger than Manigold but just as random. England is very into roller blade-ing. I can't really judge because I don't know how, but the hot pants and elbow pads are not necessary. We then hit up Parliament/Big Ben/Westminster Abbey area. All important buildings all close together-familiar. The National Gallery has the same couches the Sewanee library does. On the way to the palace area (obvi Frat area) we passed the Highlander memorial. In Kensington Palace there was a rotunda we all danced around in sight of CCTV. We decided to eat at the Texas Embassy-weirdly not as good as Mi Casa. But, we did run into some Auburn and Tuscaloosa people. It was a wonderful weekend with great people.
Things Engy has that Sewanee should: Krispy Kreme-our breakfast two mornings in a row. Roller blade-ing gang. In Trafalgar's square there was a whole area of cones set up with asian people twirling about. Every school would benefit from a roller blade-ing gang.
