King's College, Shell and The Eye

On Wednesday, July 13th, before returning to London, we made our way to King's College for a tour around the campus where Keynes studied.  Following class discussion, Erik Anderson lead the group through the college pointing out specific areas from the book.  We had a little extra time to watch punters navigating the Cam and saw our first punter take an unintended swim in the river!

For the afternoon it was back to London - this time to visit with two executives, Mark Williams (a Carleton alum) and Graeme Sweeney, at the London Shell headquarters.  It was a fascinating visit where we learned a great deal about the energy choices Shell is making for the future, along with how economics plays a vital role in those decisions.

All suited up for the Shell visit

From the top of the Shell building we got a stunning view of surrounding London and brilliant glimpse of our next stop: the London Eye.

 From the Shell building, we made our way to the river Thames for a ride on the iconic London Eye.  It was a spectacular way to see the city - and made for an ideal end to our day in London.

Up we go...

Don't forget the snacks!
