I arrived back in London this past Sunday after traveling on the continent with my family for about 18 days. Fortunately, all three other Schaefers besides myself documented much of the trip, and I will be able to use their bullet lists to reconstruct the interesting elements of the trip for any readers that haven’t vacated these premises forever.
I picked up a paper from a professor today, and I was very pleased with the results. He was asking me what I thought of the History department, and I was glad to honestly tell him that I enjoyed my History courses here quite a bit. Then he was stunned to hear that I found UCL under-computerized. He said he remembered when he first started working here 11 years ago and essays were hand-written.
I will soon start posting from the beginning of the trip and work through it. It all seems a bit overwhelming at the moment, but I’m glad to be back, and even more happy that it’s sunny and beautiful here, and even MORE glad that summer is on the horizon.
I have not abandoned you, comrade. I look forward to zee peekchurz.

I’m going to try to get the Rome and Florence pictures uploaded to Facebook tonight. Glad you liked the London ones. After I’m done with Facebook I’ll work on a Flickr page, but I’m concerned I’ll run over the file upload limit in a jiffy. That’s the problem with high-quality pictures, unfortunately.
If I’m feeling up to it I’ll also try to get a few pages of Dad’s travel journal typed up for you. I feel about 85 years old, I’m so tired. Still wheezing like Mr. Whoopingcough, too (remember Mr. Whoopingcough, from our first trip to Rome?).

Oops, that Mary Jane comment was from Annalisa. So’s this one.

I’m glad that’s you, Annalisa. I felt instantly shamed that Mary Jane knew more about all this new-fangled computer stuff than I do. You are allowed…you’re younger
