Hello again...school is finished and I'm about to set on an epic adventure--can you tell I'm excited?! Yesterday was and today is a blur of activity...packing, sorting, getting last-minute things for the trip, moving most of my things to my new home in Chase Cross, dropping unneeded things off at the thrift store, changing my address, getting my hair cut, buying euros for the trip, exchanging last-minute emails and phone calls with Karen about what we're each bringing.
Here's my new home in Chase Cross: 20 Bushy Close Romford RM1 4WN. That's my house on the left.
Romford (the nearest town with a rail station) at about 11 pm on Wednesday night on my way back to Barking.
Last night, David and I went to one of the Proms...this is the famous British Proms that go on for most of two months over the summer. Britten, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich were all on the war-themed program. The people in the centre on the lower level all paid 5 pounds for a standing (promming) space in the middle.
This afternoon, I'm going to the LMC for one last game of Settlers with my Menno friends before heading off. I'm also dropping off my laptop for care with one of my friends there, since I'd rather it not be sitting in an empty house (either Barking or Chase Cross) for the duration of my trip. I will check email as often as I can on my trip when internet cafes are available, but our original plan to use Karen's Notebook backfired when it (bought a month ago specifically for this trip) died on her. So this is it...adios amigos. I'm looking forward to having lots of stories and photos to share in the next month.
