Goodbye RCA!

Today is my final day at the Royal College of Art. It has been a fabulous time here and I leave with mixed feelings. Last night one of the tutors, Mark, and several of the students gave me a send off at the Art Bar. I realized how integrated I had become in their world during these 6 weeks.
I am off to visit my friend Isobel in her hometown outside of Oxford for the weekend and then I will spend a night in Birmingham with a couple, Helen and Andy, and their two children, whom I met at the Banff Centre two years ago. (actually they only had one child then!) Then it's off to Stratford-upon-Avon to visit my father-in-law's cousin, Ann, for a night, then....I'm going to Paris! Yes after much thought and many choices, I decided to go to Paris on the Eurostar through the Chunnel. Mark from RCA suggested a reasonably priced hotel and I will be there for 5 days before I come home. My flight back to Calgary is on the 20th of March. Will be home in time for my birthday (as I always seem to be!)
So I'm not sure when or if I will post again. If I find an internet cafe in Paris I will let you know of my adventures in Paris. It has been fun making these posts and I enjoyed having something to help me focus on some of my experiences. Please remember that for every post I put on here there were many, many, many, many more experiences. Thanks to everyone who contributed comments, I enjoyed your feedback, even though I couldn't seem to create a dialogue, which I had hoped for but didn't seem to accomplish. Au Revoir!
(I wish Amber was coming with me to interpret for me!)
