Last days of tech london

This will bet hardest blog to write. I sit in my bed back home in Ruston about to write this blog about the amazing last two days of our time in London. It's hard to look back at all the fun times we had when I'm stuck back in middle- of-nowhere Ruston. Anyways here goes.
The last night that we were allowed to go out was the night after our trip to Canterbury.  Joie and I met up with Jordan ( if you recall we met him on the train to Dublin) and some of his friends. We went out to a bar and club called the zoo, which we thought according to Jordan's friend, was going to have live animals. Sadly this was not the case, but was ok since we still had an amazing time. It as fun to go out with people that weren't in our group. It gave us a completely different experience than going out with people in our group. Th next day we arrived to our final day in London.  We took a tour of St. Paul's cathedral with Brian, who was an amazing tour guide, and climbed to the top of St. Paul's to see the amazing view of London. I honestly wouldn't have had it end any other way. It was a perfect end to our group trips.
After leaving St. Paul's, Joie and I went on our way to check the last things we wanted to see off of our list. We made our way to Trafalgar Square and took pictures on the lions and had a nice lunch out on the fountains. Then we made out way into the national gallery to see the Van Gough exhibit. Wt made out way through the whole of the national gallery before finally coming to Van Gough's works. The first thing you saw was his famous painting of the sunflowers in a vase. It was amazing to be to be in front of a work of art that I have seen so many images of.  As I stood there admiring the painting I heard little sobs from behind me. Poor Joie was so overwhelmed that she had started to cry. Then it hit me. This was the last time that we'd be together exploring this amazing city. We then left the exhibit to go downstairs to see some of Michelanglo's unfinished paintings, which of course were amazing. We then left and headed back to Nido to do the thing we had most dreaded. Packing. Packing in itself wasn't hard, but clearing out closets and cabinets knowing we were never coming back was hard, especially for Joie and I who had been looking at possibilities of staying longer. For us London was a place that we fit in. A place, unlike America, where we felt at home and comfortable. After about two hours of packing we made it down to the farewell dinner which had amazing food. I honestly liked it better than the welcome dinner. After that mc, Sara, Joie, and I went to see Big Ben one last time. It was an amazing sight. We also walked along the bridge and looked over the Thames at the London eye.  We would've stayed longer if there had there not been sketchy people in Shrek masks making weird whistling noises at us.
I would just like to thank Dr Rufleth and Dr Hankins for giving us this amazing oppurtunity to see the world in a different light. I had an amazing time in London and would go back right now if I could afford it haha. But until then I will look back at all the memories I have made along with the new friends I have found with great fondness. I will miss all of y'all in the coming months! Long live king Lou!!!
