Summer School in London

I arrived this morning in London with my friend and co-worker, Lois, to begin our two-week summer school program with the Victorian Society in America. I thought this trip would be a good opportunity to start blogging, and over the next two weeks or so I'll be posting photos and updates so you can see what we're up to in the way of Victorian London, its buildings, monuments, parks, and museums. Right now we're staying with Alexander and Anette in their cute flat in Finsbury Park, right around the corner from our cousin Nina and her three kids. This evening we're going to a Congolese concert in Waterloo, and tomorrow Lois and I meet up with the rest of the summer school group, settle into our lodgings at the Methodist International Hostel near Regents Park, and have a couple of lectures: "Victorian London", and "Great Exhibitions"... or is that Great Expectations?
