The UK Crew in Piccadily Circus, originally uploaded by ECUK08.

Well, Wednesday was our last night, and we went out with high society in mind. After an easy day spent packing and preparing for our departure, Prof. Wolfe and Prof. Parkhouse took us to the Topo Gigio Restaurant for some fancy French cuisine. Prawns, chicken and a vegetarian pasta were on the menu, as were crab cakes, breaded goat cheese and tiramisu.

Following dinner we walked into the Piccadily Theater district to watch Noel Coward's play "The Vortex" at the Apollo Theater. The controversy surrounding his play The Vortex (1924), which contains many veiled references to drug abuse and homosexuality, made him an overnight sensation on both sides of the Atlantic. An interesting play, and a play actors find difficult to master. But Felicity Kendal (as Florence Lancaster) and Dan Stevens (as Nicky Lancaster) and Phoebe Nichols (as Helen Saville) were right on. Each executed the emotion and logic of their characters with fruition.

Thus is the end of our trip to the UK. All of us want to extend our gratitude to Prof. Wolfe and Prof. Parkhouse for having a course that is so informative, involved, and exciting. They packed a lot of the United Kingdom into just three weeks while allowing us to get lost and explore the UK for ourselves. Well done! And thank you!!!
