“Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Welp!  I don't want to say goodbye to London or to this blog or to anyone here that I have met!

London is absolutely beautiful and magical and I hope that I can remember every small detail of it that has captured my heart.

Some good and bad things about London that I definitely do not want to forget:

• the "look right" and "look left" writing on the streets
• the way there's a yellow light before the traffic light turns green so that cars know when to get ready to go
• the way cars drive on the right/wrong side of the road (depending on which Brit you talk to)
• the way people say "Cheers!" instead of thank you
• the way that there is no right side of the sidewalk to walk on or on the stairs (one of the things that really bugged me)
• the Tube's "Mind the Gap" voiceover warning
• the Tube's very clear announcements of each stop
• the double-decker buses
• the way that the price of something is exactly the amount you have to pay because tax is already included on the tag
• "chips" are french fries
• scones scones scones scones
• how popular Starbucks is here
• everything closes SO EARLY
• Regent Street
• Kensington Gardens
• Mornington Crescent Tube station
• Great Portland Street
• Sainsbury's Grocery Stores
• Boots convenience store
• the pound coins, five pence coins, ten pence coins, one pence coins, two pence coins, twenty pence coins, and fifty pence coins
• Big Ben's bell striking on every hour
• the extremely forward European men
• their strange Minstrels chocolate candy and Double Deckers
• the drinking age being 18
• the extreme rudeness and slow walking of people here

I know that there are so many more things but of course I am having an extreme brain fart right now!

I am so grateful to have had the chance to come here, and I can't thank Mommy and Daddy enough for letting me go on this trip.  I am in love with this beautiful city, and can only hope that I will be lucky enough to return someday.

I love you London!

Until next time.
