Hey babe!!
I just stumbled on your email with this link and I had checked it when you first left but haven't since. It looks like your trip has been amazing! What wonderful pictures, and I hope your dissertation is coming along well. Certainly beats sitting in the library working on it -- which is what my whole summer looked like! I should've gone somewhere, mix a little work with traveling. Any chance you willl be in DC Sept 16-28th? I'll be there for a week, would love to see you if we manage to be on the same continent at the same time.
Miss you!

Well, down the home stretch for you. Seems by all accounts you had a successful trip. You could almost just turn in the link for this website as your research paper. So as you finish up this week take care and have a good trip back to london.
