"I am a part of all that I have met; yet all experience is an arch wherethro' gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move."

Remembrance Day

On Sunday, we gave the students the option of attending services elsewhere. All students took that option and not one student attended at Wembley. We had all been so excited about the International Sunday planned at Wembley on November 11th. Unfortunately, the Sunday before all visitors were asked to leave which left a great sense of unease with all of us. With that in mind, most of the students chose the Remembrance Sunday services at St. Pauls Cathedral (although a few went to the Imperial War Museum for services and some went to Whitehall). The services at St. Pauls were very moving and I am so glad we went. I especially appreciated the two minutes of silence during the ringing bells of St. Pauls.

Afterwards we went to Paul, a nice patisserie that looks out at St. Pauls. Particia and Jacqueline were also there. Keri wants to take Reagan and Sara next week.

Why would they ask all the visitors to leave? That's weird! You know Tim kissed me first in the side yard of St. Paul's....it looks differnt now than it did in 1973...but it will always be a special place in my heart!

i've been to Pauls! and i'm very excited someone wants to go. there is one beside the tower of london and the last time i was there, i was the only one who got something. it is NOT fun to be the only one eating pastries, no matter how much the exchange rate hurts.
