Last Day In London..... :(

My last day in London came way to quickly for me. I was having so much fun and then it was over. Here is my last day in London.

Carolyn had gotten an OK from her boss for me to shadow her while she was at her job. She works at the archives of the Horniman Museum. It was pretty cool. Everyone I met, including her supervisor, was really nice and welcoming. I worked with Carolyn and her supervisor on their project.

Basically they were photographing pieces in the museum's collection. It was much more exciting then it sounds I promise. I got to help unpack, situate, and repack all of the artifacts we photographed that day. It was pretty cool being able to handle parts of the collection. I really enjoyed myself so much. After we were done for the day Carolyn took me over to meet a few people that handle documentation for the whole collection. Which is a big job since the collection kinda takes up a few floors of the building! They were all really nice and were willing to explain things to me.

After work we took the tube over to Westminster Abbey where Carolyn took me to see (or more accurately hear) Evensong at the Abbey. It was beautiful. It was just the choir and their voices harmonizing to create this wonderful wall of sound.

By the time that was over it was already 6 pm. so we decided to go home and start dinner before we both starved. once we had eaten we relaxed for a while around her flat. Once it was a bit later we went back out on the town and had a few drinks in a pub. It was a very nice relaxed last night in London.

Thank you Carolyn for making my time in London one of the best times of my life!
