Closing this Chapter

We are finalizing preparations for our move back to the States.  The movers are coming to our flat on Wednesday.  Are we ready to come home? Yes.  Are there things that we are going to miss?  Absolutely.  This has been a wonderful experience and I can whole heartedly say I have grown personally and professionally.  I am still a conservative, Midwestern girl at heart, but I have an new appreciation of city life, culture, religion and just generally am more open-minded.  Do we have any regrets?   Not a one.  While this chapter is closing and we are very much looking forward to being home, we would absolutely do it again if the right opportunity came up.  Looking back...  We have traveled Europe (and we’re not done yet).  We have experienced the sites & attractions of the UK.  We have met great people.  London will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Today we took our last London weekend walk (and it was a big one as my step count says 38,795 steps as I type this blog).  We needed to take in the sites one more time.  Just our luck, we happened to stumble upon a protest.  Good news is it was a peaceful protest and they were even offering pamphlets to explain why they were marching.  For some reason, I don't think I'll be seeing this on my weekends in Shawnee.
