A trip to Canterbury is a must. Canterbury also gives you easy access to Dover and Folkstone, where the Chunnel is located. When the Chunnel was being built a few years ago, they had a wonderful 'museum' at the site that was worthwhile, complete with a 'French' cafe (probably some of the best food in England!). Just kidding. Dover had an extraordinary museum that had just opened when I was over there, too; it traced the major milestones of Dover history (Roman conquest, Britain's ties to the sea, even 'Dover Street', a mock-up of WWII Dover Street with bombed out buildings and an air raid bunker) that I think your class would enjoy very much. A book that might come in handy for you and your class is _Americans in London_, by Brian Morton, which will give you a friendly and informative street tour of the London 'homes and haunts' of Americans from "John Adams to Fred Astaire" to, yes, even Mark Twain. And, to give them a feel of a true university town, take them to Oxford or Cambridge and set them punting! It was the most fun I had in England! Please let me know how your plans go...I'd be interested to hear about the trip and your students' reactions.... Beth Regish Smithsonian Institution Libraries
