London August 9
Today was a beautiful day in London. Just the right temperature for a bit of wandering about the city and sightseeing. I was planning to head to the British Museum again, but decided instead to wander around by the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. It was great to just be outside and not need to rush off anywhere. I am really looking forward to tomorrow and being in South Africa. Just the twelve hour flight stands in the way. When I was leaving immigration today, the official was concerned that I was clearing customs when I didn't need to. We laughed a bit about my staying in Heathrow for eight hours. Then when I checked in at Virgin, the lady gave me a hard time about leaving the airport and not returning on time for my flight. I wasn't sure how to take all that today. I guess they were concerned for my well being. Never fear I have returned to the airport. Now if I could only find a place to get a hair cut!

Summer Academy Twelve is over...
Summer Academy ended last Friday, and this was a very successful summer. I worked with some very talented people, and this made this summer relatively stress-free. Of course there was the occasional Turk trying to escape after lights out, and the one of two Spanish kids with a big attitude, but overall, things were smooth. Our logo this year was "Celebrating twelve years and seventeen countries." Very cool. I am pretty excited to head to South Africa on Tuesay.
