Day 21

On our last day in London, England we all spent the day spending what money we had left on last-minute souvenirs. Some of us went to Piccadilly Circus and some went to Oxford Circus to visit stores like Cool Britannia, a tourist's heaven, and Primark, an extremely inexpensive clothing store. After bringing our treasures back to Regents, we spent the rest of the afternoon trying to make everything fit in our suitcases. After finally succeeding in closing our luggage, we borrowed a scale from the front desk to make sure they were within the specifications of the airport.

Once we were packed, we all left together to meet Professors Wolfe and Parkhouse for dinner. Professor Wolfe made reservations at Rowly's, after hearing recommendations from local Londoners who raved about the delicious food and atmosphere. The entire class is very thankful for Professor Wolfe's choice and we are all in agreement with the Londoners that Rowly's has some of the best food in London and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We were served delectable variations of traditional fish and chips and sausage and mashed potatoes. For dessert we had chocolate cake adorned with mint leaves in taffy sauce. During dinner, we reminisced about our trip, and toasted to Julien and Kate who are returning to Elmira to graduate. We returned back to Regents College, finished up packing and prepared to leave for the airport early tomorrow morning.
