After almost 3 weeks in the US, I'm back in London. Funny but I often forget just how incredibly different the two places are (gee, really?)!
I was staying with friends on Lake Sammamish and noticed that the Bald Eagle population has really recovered from even just a few years ago; I must have seen a least one each day! The silence and calmness of the water, the Cascade Mts even the rain in some way, just felt like home. It is such a contrast to the noise and busy pace (stress) of London. In some odd way, I missed the hustle and bustle. Maybe knowing that this was my last home leave gave me new perspective. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the US and PAC NW but I now, in some way, I can see how people enjoy the pace of a big city.
So, my time here is quickly coming to a close. I know there are going to be things I didn't realize I would miss. Maybe the noise and stress of this city? Picking up broken pint glasses off my front porch? I doubt it. The thing I will miss most is the friends I've made and people that I have met during this crazy EXPAT "adventure".
