inns of court & dinner with the students


On Jan. 23, Shane and I walked through the Inns of Court, which has been London's legal district for centuries. The various Temples that comprise the area feature a variety of architectural styles. We wandered back up to Fleet Street, and then ducked down to the Temple Church, which played a prominent role in The Da Vinci Code. Here are some of the Knights of the Templar, enjoying their eternal repose:


At the end of the walk, we came across this colorfully-named wine bar:

That evening, the students organized a group dinner at a favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant. The food was very good, and the service was even better. The evening concluded with some of the students dancing with the owner and one of the servers. Here we are, happily sated on pasta and pizza.
