Just kidding, I'm not leaving.
Just kidding, I will have to be forcibly removed from the premisses.
Anyway, I had a wonderful last day today. After a beautiful Foy class that I understood 0% of ("Dr. Foy, what is anti-matter? Dr. Foy, what is dark matter? Dr. Foy, make a Star Trek analogy!"), we decided to make the musical pilgrimage to end all pilgrimages...
Abbey Road!
Oh yes, we were those tourists.
Fab Four!
It was worth it. Abbey Road is a magical place.
Writings on the walls outside Abbey Road Studios.
So many people have made the trip out there. I can tell that it's extremely irritating to the drivers that go through that road, but what can you do.
We all need to take a moment to appreciate this dog driving by. Look at it.
After Abbey Road, the Houcks and I split up. They desperately wanted to see the British Library and I really wanted a second go at the Victoria and Albert! They were going to meet me after they had finished their tour, so I decided to give them a chance to catch up by getting myself some afternoon tea at the V&A.
I will not leave. You can't make me leave this place.
After tea, the ETA for the Houcks had arrived, so I headed to the lobby to meet up with them. I got to sit in one of the best chairs ever designed. It was basically a hollowed-out top that would roll 360ยบ with the slightest movement while you were inside. That entertained me for a good 10 minutes or so. However, as the minutes inched by, the Houcks were not arriving, so I ducked in and out of some of the exhibits closest to the lobby until they appeared. We did a run-through of the ball gown exhibit before the staff kicked us out. Now that I have been to the V&A, though, my love for the British Museum has been called into question. The V&A is pretty damn amazing.
To finish our evening, we went out to my favorite Italian restaurant from long ago... Cotto Italian! Gluten free bread, pizza, and a tiramisu. It was all beautiful. We rode the tube for the very last time on the way home... I'll miss London. It still remains my favorite city of all time. I'll be back. Sooner rather than later!
Goodbye, strange London Olympic mascot that I see everywhere!
Packing for Dublin! We'll see how that goes!

so glad you've seen and experienced so much. I love your descriptions and can almost taste that cup of ea and the V&A museum.
