Can my time in London really be over? Sadly it is… I can hardly believe I have been here for over a month. I am not ready to head back to the U.S. I am not ready to leave this beautiful city, or the wonderful people I have met here.

My host culture has been better than I could have ever expected. Most of the locals I met were willing to talk with me, and share information on things I should see and do. I was not expecting the locals to be as open and friendly as they were due to the fact they are probably seeing Americans on a regular basis. Just like everywhere there were definitely people that wanted nothing to do with us, but I would say over all the locals completely added to my experience.

I have never felt so many different emotions at one time. I am looking forward to going home to my parents and horses, but I am not ready to leave the life I have been living here in London. I wish I had a few weeks left to fit in all the things I have not yet been able to do due to my busy schedule. I am sad to be leaving my friends here, but I am also excited to see my friends back in the U.S. and tell them about my adventures.

These are some of my favorite people on our last weekend in London. We did a pub crawl In Camden. I highly recommend taking part in something like this. Camden turned out to be a really cool area. There were a lot of fun pubs as well as restaurants. Camden seems to have a younger local feel to it.
