Most of our college students went home on Friday. A few have headed out to see parts of Europe over the next week or two. We're headed home on Monday morning. The trip is coming to an end.

For our last night together, we took the students out for dinner and to the final show. Dinner was at the Strand Carvery in the Strand hotel. The Carvery served roast beef, lamb and turkey all carved to order, along with a host of fresh vegetables. And cheesecake for desert.

Just a few doors down was the Adelphi Theatre, where we saw Andrew Lloyd Weber's play "Love Never Dies" LND is the sequel to Phantom of the Opera. I'm still not sure what I thought of the show. The music was, at times, sensational. The two leading guys had wonderful, powerful voices. But the story just didn't match up to the music. The Phantom isn't a very sympathetic figure in this story and it was hard to see how the story could come to anything but a tragic ending.
