Here Comes the Sun



We were out the door at 6am this morning so we could go to Abbey Road and recreate the infamous Beatles picture. I feel sorry for everyone who drives past that zebra with all the tourists standing in the middle...we only got honked at a couple of times. That's why we went so early in the morning...less traffic. After we got our picture, I went home and slept for 3 more hours.
I felt like I had been dreaming about going to Abbey Road after I had woken up for the second time today.

I went to the National Gallery...my favorite art gallery here in London. I found Josiah's birthday present...a brown tie with sunflowers! Like Van Gogh...plus he could always use a new tie right? And I might have gotten a ring with a sunflower on it for myself. I've discovered since I've been here that I'm obsessed with three things: Outdoors, sunflowers and birds. I think you can tell that by looking through all my posts.

Then me and Sarah went to Camden market where everyone has a mohawk and 20 piercings and wears plaid pants with chains. I love London. It almost reminds me of Olympia sometimes. We ate lunch at Nando's...the best restaurant in the world. Really, I'm not lying. I don't know why we don't have them in the United States. I vote we get one in Washington.

We took the tube back to St. Paul's Cathedral for Evensong. We came here for the first London study as a group which was back in January, so it's been a while. I forgot how beautiful it was inside, it's so different than any other cathedrals. And we got to hear the choir sing! It was a pretty good Saturday.
