Katy's Visit: Pictorial Recap

Katy visited London on the way back from India. It was a hectic time, but we took a trip to Harrod's (and saw everything we can't afford), saw Billy Elliot the Musical, and went ice skating at Somerset House for free! A lady skated right up to us and handed us the tickets! I'm headed to Prague (Praha to the people in the know) in the Czech Repbulic tomorrow morning, so I'll be back Friday. In the meantime... some pictures.

Also, someone in my residence hall has been diagnosed with meningococcal meningitis. I thought I'd throw that in for some flavor to the post. Don't worry. I've been vaccinated.

Safer in London than Gtown

I've been a little blog crazy today, but this could be interesting for family readers. My parents worry about me walking around London in the dark. Mind you... the sun sets at 4PM nowadays so it's inevitable. But here's an email from the Department of Public Safety at Georgetown. I would just like to point out that it was 6PM.
