The Brompton Seminars

On the night that the Travel Writing Seminar had host reponsibilities, it was fitting that we actually engaged in a bit of travel.  At 4:00 we ventured to Brompton (the Home of the President of the University of Mary Washington) where we posed for pictures, toured the house, and were treated to an impromptu lecture on the significance of the grounds during the Battle of Fredericksburg.   Advising groups then began the trek to the Faculty Dining Room where we had the great pleasure of hearing readings from travel diaries, partaking in a delicious tour of some of the world’s great cuisines, and engaging in an evening of conversation about our own travels.
