    LAST FEW HOURS IN LONDON (pics, again, click here) I don’t think we’ll go into too many details about my final few hours in London, but I suppose I’ll walk you through a few places I managed to visit. Obviously it was another terrific morning for a bit of sightseeing. After again wandering through Westminster, Trafalgar Square, Picadilly and Lilywhites sports store, Leicester City Square, I headed up Tottenham Court Road towards the incredible (and free) British Museum. The Museum was full of some awesome stuff, the highlight of which for me was the Rosetta Stone. I then took off toward the Oxford Circus, where the Regent Street Music Festival began. That was a very cool way to spend my last hour or so in London, hanging out and exploring all that the festival had to offer. Beautiful day, beautiful city, beautiful street, actually some pretty good music, and loads of wonderful people. But it was time to head to Heathrow via the Underground, and I of course I just had to snap a shot of the station at the airport where I played FIFA 09 for about an hour until my flight. Good times. I absolutely loved London and although I won’t be returning within six months - for both logistic and legal reasons - without a doubt I’ll come again….and hate the weather.

So I, Sean Kesluk, left Los Angeles for a 6 month adventure abroad in Europe and South America. After a few weeks studying the Deutsch in Freiburg, Germany, it's two months up north in Hamburg working for the city's Jewish community center. After a brief foray into Sweden, I'll head South to Buenos Aires for some Spanish classes and volunteer work in a La Boca soup kitchen. After that it's back home to the States and national service with AmeriCorps NCCC. With a month of training at the VA medical campus in Perry Point, MD, it 's off to Baltimore for my first project, two months working for The Samaritan Women, a non-profit renovating a hundred-year-old mansion to use as a transitional home for women in recovery from heroin addiction and human trafficking, in addition to expanding a farm/urban garden to distribute produce to soup kitchens, shelters, and those in nutritional poverty. The second project will see us down in New Orleans, LA doing post-Katrina work with The Phoenix of New Orleans, a non-profit which renovates homes for Lower Mid-City homeowners who can't afford to do so.
