This will be a very brief and un-picture-full post...My time in London is drawing to a close! There are still lots of adventures I need to write about, but I want to quickly say how sad I am that I leave in only 3 days! Well, it's bittersweet. I'm absolutely bursting with joy at the thought of seeing my family and my roommates, but there will definitely be tears of sadness as I depart.
Within the last few weeks, some pretty exciting things have happened! For one, Secretary of State John Kerry showed up at the embassy on very short notice! We got to hear him speak, and some of the interns even got to shake his hand (not me though...). Also, there was a bomb threat at the embassy today...although our office didn't know about it until it was pretty much over with, so not much to comment on there. My cousins Johnny and Kandis visited this weekend! We had a great time touring the Cabinet War Rooms and exploring Harrods. I also had my first run at Mexican food in London! Wasn't too bad, actually. We went to a place called Benito's Hat (apparently the owner married a San Antonio girl), which was a lot like Chipotle. I even had guacamole, which I've really been craving!
Like I said, not too much to write about for now. More to come very soon :) In the meantime I just posted a bunch of pictures of recent adventures on Facebook if you'd like a sneak peek!
Also, for the record, I beat Paul (my co-intern) to work today. This never happens. Although none of you all really care, it was a very important moment in my career as an intern, so I would appreciate your applause as you read this. That's all :)
Much love,
Hayley
