A BRIEF REUNION

---

Main reason to top in London on way back to Boston is to pick up my stuff left on the truck in the Congo, but it dd not turn up in Somerset office of Oasis, nothing valuable but the memories.. Mark and others lost a lot of gear i.e. cameras, really ticked off everyone, we spread out all the things on the floor of their office, stuff coming in a umber of sacks and some bags, took awhile to figure out which is which and whose is whose, we were supposed to pay 20 pounds each for transporting our gears back to the UK, but Mark started ranting off about it and the ls item and the cew in the office sympathized with us and did not make them pay. i lst my things o damn if I have to pay! The only good thing about the road trip is I saw the Stonehenge from afar. Markdropped me off at the train station in Swindon and made my way to St. Albans to meet up with Angus who stayed the night at Nigel's and as usual I cooked up a storm to celebrate a mini reunio which Ameena joined the next day.

Prior to that of course is the reunion in Oxford, started by me meeting up with Chris at the Victoria station and we took the double decker coach to Oxford reminiscing about Africa. Met Mark at the bus station in Oxford and soon joined by Chrissie and Jo, lots of drinking,many pitchers of woo woos later we went back to Chrissie's dorm and we decided to join the Turkish themed party next door then off to bed after that.

Made my way back to Boston a few days later, trully enjoyed my stay with Nige in St. Albans, it's like my second home, very grateful to have a friend like Nige whom I can stay with whenever am in town.
