Brexit and what came before

What an eye-opening series of classes we attended at the private club at the US Naval Academy on Friday!  When and if I am in a situation where Brexit is discussed, I will surely have a leg up.  I learned a whole lot about Europe, and it's history, an area of the world I was not keen on, but know a bunch about now!  There were 2 classes before lunch and two after, taught by 4 professors from the Academy, 2 were men and 2, women.  There ought to be a master's degree or even a doctorate for seniors like me who keep on taking courses at this level, don't cha think??

When class was over, a private bus hired for our group met us outside the Naval Academy club, whisked us off the grounds to where my friend Kathy's driver, Mohamed, was waiting in his SUV.  We both said how delightful it was not to have to go into the garage and find our car and then play DODGE 'Em with the 5PM traffic to get home to Baltimore.  Mohamed drove me to my door, helped me out of the SUV,  I thanked him and Kathy, and then they waited until I was safely inside.
 
If you have the Johns Hopkins University ODYSSEY brochure, you will see the classes we attended. 

PS.  It's Spring Break at the Naval Academy so we missed seeing many midshipmen.  We hadn't been to Annapolis in years and loved the cleanliness of the streets and the stunning architecture.
