Today was my last full day here in London. It is hard for me to believe that this leg of my trip is just about at an end. So far, this trip has been even better than I had hoped it would be & I have had the opportunity to meet some great people and see some amazing things.
The day started off with me saying goodbye to Trishia after breakfast. She is off to Pau, France to start school. It has been a very unexpected pleasure to have gotten to know her & been able to do some traveling with her. She has invited me down to visit while I am in Paris next week & unless something unexpected happens, I am planning on taking her up on that. It would be great to see the south of France, another version of the country to compare to Paris.
I spent a greater part of the day brushing up on what I am going to do on the next leg of my trip, which starts tomorrow. I got a phone call from Steve, a co-worker at New Line, who is here in London working on a reshoot. He wondered if I had any interest in touring the National Gallery. That was one of the places I had not had the chance to visit, but interested me, so I met him there. 
We walked around for a few hours & saw some amazing paintings. There was a room that had at least 10 Monet paintings in it and some were amazing! I also saw a few famous Leonardo da Vinci paintings as well, including "Sunflowers" as well as "The Virgin of the Rocks.". After touring the museum (it is a pretty large museum!!) we went to a pub and had a few drinks. It was nice to hang out with a familiar face here and it was a perfect cap to end a perfect leg of my trip. I am a little nervous about the traveling tomorrow, since I have never been to an area where English is not the spoken language. I never took any French, so I have been trying to get phrases down from a audiobook I bought on my iPod. If all goes according to plan, this time tomorrow I will have seen the Eiffel Tower.
