    Day 140 - Last day

    Today I went to a few new places around London that I haven't been to yet. Brixton (a dodgy part of town that people warned me about -- hence, my first choice of places to go), Chelsea (I've been all over Kengsington but never to Chelsea until today), the National Gallery, the Science Museum, and a couple other places. I met my friend at Piccadilly Circus and we eventually ended up at the Thames near Embankment -- one of my favorite places in the world.

    As for last night, I had a great time. After the Back of Beyond we went to the Purple Turtle, which was a very appropriate place for a true Reading/UK experience.

    Wow, Matt. It's hard to believe you're coming back now. Safe travels. And welcome back (home?)!

    I'm really excited about what a huge effect this England experience has had on you. Probably the best way I can describe to you how I feel about Utah is to point to how you feel about England.

    I wandered over to the counter just now and found my barley sugar candies, so I put one in my mouth. As soon as I did that, the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah came on. It brought back great memories.

    See you tomorrow, buddy!

    Been interesting to read this blog since I discovered it a few weeks ago as I know the area you've been staying in fairly well. It's always interesting to get an outsider's viewpoint on your society.

    Hope you had a good trip back!
