City of Blinding Lights

London 2010. I find it's hard to sit down and write a closure to this trip. But then that means it really is over. It's hard to believe. These past 2 months have flown by, even thought that sounds cliche. I look back now and realize the first three days here feel like way more than a few weeks ago. These days have been filled with amazing places, people, and memories. I am so grateful for the chance to come here and study, and remember the place I used to call home. Here are the things I'll miss most:

1) Pret A Manger

2) Seeing old architecture everyday

3) English accents

4) Caramel Shortbread

5) Scoop

6) Walking everywhere

7) the rain

8) Scenic views

9) Parks

10) Mueller yogurt

11) Hanging out at the pub

12) Cider:)

Things I won't miss as much:

1) 2 pence (why do they have those anyways??)

2) Dirty dishes

3) the Tube

4) Vendors

5) Pigeons

6) Buses (so close to death by bus at least 8 times)

7) Pubs closing at 11:30

8) Sunrise at 5:30 and no curtains

Things I miss in America:

1) Water fountains

2) People saying God bless you when you sneeze

3) Split checks

4) Salads

5) My car

6) A comfortable bed

7) My family

8) Ice

9) Air Conditioning

10) Bathroom surplus

Overall, I have had a great trip, as I've said multiple times before. I can't tell you my favorite memory, I have so many. I can't tell you my favorite place I've been, I liked them all. I can't tell you if someday I will live here, I can't see into the future. But I can tell you you HAVE to come to London if you haven't. It is an amazing, spectacular city with so much to offer. I have been blessed by God for this unforgettable experience, and I hope someday he can do the same for you. Cheers.
