As promised I got some pictures of the black swans that have become a symbol of Leeds Castle. I wish I had seen the napkins with the Black Swans that Cathy said she found in the gift shop, but I didn't. Probably a good thing, too, because I have spent enough money already, and I have not yet been to a sale at Clarkes!
Everyone got back to the bus on time . . . well except for the students who took the wrong path. They didn't realize it until they walked to a cricket pitch and realized they had headed in the wrong direction. This, my friends, is why on these trips, everyone needs to have a phone and to keep the trip leader's number with them at all times!
After we got back to the apartments, I went with the ladies to a pub down the street for dinner. I got one of the famous English pies, it came with vegetables (carrots and leeks) and mashed potatoes and a boat (literally) of gravy.
People have been telling me that food in London is not good. However, I have yet to have something that I thought wasn't delicious. Even the take away food in the grocery store was really good, and I got some good food deals to eat for breakfast and dinner in the apartment. I hope we can go back for this pie. It was really good.
