Sometime after 11, I arrive at the house on De Beauvoir Street. "Adams", my traveling companion and have planned to meet here before going to a nice lunch (he is staying here with K, a mutual friend). Instead, K greets me at the door pygama-esque clothing, having decided to work from home.
Adams has gone out to fetch an English breakfast, apparently forgetting our previous lunch plan. I call the third lunch mate to reschedule, take a shower, and wait for Adams to return, chatting idly with K about radical islam, non-profit management, and the supremacy of Arsenal (the local british football team).
Adams returns and we hustle off to lunch, taking a bus to Liverpool street. We meet Levy, (a friend from Wesleyan), waiting in the entryway of Haz, sipping a kir royale.
Levy is a Jewish guy from Buffalo, NY who has spent the year studying at the famed London School of Economics. He's spent the summer working at Marsh, a subsidary Marsh & Mclennan Companies.
