Our London Adventure, in review

This is officially our last post. The end of our adventure has arrived and we can't believe it.

We have loved our journey here and are so happy that we had the opportunity to live in London. We have made life long friends that we will miss dearly! We have a new outlook on the world and a new appreciation for America. And if we were asked to live abroad again, I think we would both say, yes! Can you believe it?! It has truly been an amazing experience that we will treasure forever.

The things we won't miss:
The washer/dryer (really a steamer) combo
The winter weather
The metric system
Being far from our family and friends


The things we will miss:
Our friends
Thai and Indian food
Hyde Park
Traveling Europe
The French pastries
Walking everywhere(not needing a car)
Our Healthcare and doctors
The accent
The cab drivers (knowledgeable and courteous)
The pubs
Football
Cafe Nero
And many many more...

Here are a few photos of our last times in London.






Here we come America!!!!!!

Wimbledon 2009

Considering we only live 25 minutes from Wimbledon, we decided to brave the crowds and heat for the chance to experience Wimbledon. We are sure glad we did, and recommend the event to everyone even if you are not a tennis fan. The grounds are beautiful, with a mixture of modern and historic influences (and lots of money for a roof than will be used at some point given the British weather!).



We ate dinner on Henman's Hill, and walked around to watch various doubles matches. Given the presence of Noelle and her charm, we were even able to get our way into centre court.

Paris!

For our last trip while living abroad we decided we had to do Paris one last time! We had a wonderful time exploring local neighborhoods, visiting Versailles and having a picnic on the grounds, and of course eating and walking non stop. I am excited to tell you that after years of sampling, I have found the best chocolate croissant I have ever had. The next time you are in Paris, it is called Aux Armes de Niel. Deelish! Nils took us on a metro adventure- we now think we have somewhat figured out their metro system. We LOVE Paris and were happy introduce Noelle to this amazing city!
