My friends, Adria and Alberto, gave me a ride to the
airport, which turned out to be very convenient for
everyone, since Adria's mother just happened to be coming
in on a flight from Chicago at the same time I had to
be there for my London departure!

I actually stopped off briefly in London to visit with
my friends at UCL before heading up to Leicester to
see John and his family, but I didn't get any pictures
of the London jaunt because I was too jet-lagged to
drag out my camera. Here John is with his evercute
daughter, Elspeth.

The resident geese at De Montfort University, where
John works, had signets this year, and I was very excited
to see them.

Fowl!
Dad was rather protective of his little swanlings, and
even lunged at me at one point when I got too close.
Here's another waterfowl, who seemed to be deliberately
provoking Dad just for jollies.

Heading back through London, I transferred at Paddington
Station to board a train to Bristol.
