Today was my last full day in London. Bittersweet would be an appropriate description. It has been a joy being a "Londoner" the last few weeks, yet despite my "Londoner" status quo, home is where the heart is.
The cultural differences have been joyful, sad, surprising, rewarding, and at times overwhelming. There are those things I'll miss, such as public transportation, getting a good walk in every day, and of course sunny days without gnats. Yet, in my weeks here I've learned to appreciate the States more-for starters because of the dollar ratio-and to further embrace opportunities for cultural learning experiences, especially when it comes to the palette.
This was a trip that I'll share for years to come with the hope of returning one day.
