Some updated events that happened:
My boss John took me out to dinner on my last day of the internship. The restaurant was called "The Orange" and it was really nice:

He lives in Westminster which is a really nice place to live.
Petro, one of my buddies won over 300 pounds (roughly 400 dollars) at a casino last weekend. This was one of the few times I've seen the house actually lose. As they say, "the house always wins." Game of choice was roulette.
I went to Portobello Road market. It was really cool - great antique collection and a little bit more tailored for high brow society. Really cool stuff though, a mammoth tusk for sale and Jurassic era petrified wood, great conversation pieces for the lovely flat. Just cool stuff if you have the money for it. I also finished up some of my last few souvenir shopping for my family. People who are not my immediate family and reading this: I only had room for presents to my family, I am just around the 50 lb limit for my bag and just one more souvenir in the bag might cause it to burst wide open. I'm sorry - I know I should have gotten more people stuff - but you guys are just going to have to come to London to experience it for yourself.
My adventure in the UK is now over with. I leave for the airport in about 5 hours. I'm glad the volcano situation has cleared up and I'm ready to see my family again. I have to hit the ground running when I'm back cause I only get a brief time home before I head up to the Twin Cities to live up there during the summer.
London:
You are one of the most amazing cities I've ever been to (and lived in). You've offered me great sightseeing, a great internship, great moments, great food, the liveliest communities, arts, culture, music, markets, everything but the kitchen sink. I'm so excited that you are hosting the Olympics and I'll get to see it through the television and see what I was once a part of for 4 months I was here. Thank you and I hope to see you sooner than later.
U.S. - I will see you soon.
