Weekend in London

Saturday was full of fun! We went to the Portobello Market and Oxford Street to shop...all day long. We ate KFC, wonderful food! This is Maryum, Winnie, Jesi, Lindsey, and I eating our lovely American Chicken.

On Sunday we woke up early to get to church in Hyde Park, but apparently we didn't get up early enough. The train drove off just as we were getting to the platform, so we were late to church and missed the Sacrament. But, never fear, we went back later and took the sacrament at the Portugese/Spanish branch. We got to sing hymns in Spanish and in Portugese. That was pretty cool.


After church, Karrissa, Jesi, Lindsey, and I crossed the street and went to the science museum. That was so cool. They had displays of all the great inventions like cars, airplanes, tractors, and space exploration. There was and American flag on the space ship that landed on the moon. I saw that and was like, "YEAH! America, it's so familiar!" In the basement they had 'hands on' exhibits and you could do all sorts of fun things. We had a party. The coolest thing was a radio that had been disassembled. You put a bowl on top and you could hear the music. Another trick was to put your chin on top of it and plug your ears. Haha! We looked funny, but we could hear it!

We went back to the V&A museum for a little bit today and Linds and I modeled Dahli's Lip Sofa. Not as comfortable as you may think, it's kind of hard and plasticy.

Hyde Park was not too far from where we were, so we spent a few hours there. This picture is us sticking our feet in the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain. It felt so good!! Our feet got so tired. We also took a picture in front of this really cool statue that came out of no where. My favorite part was eating ice cream in the park, it was peach/mango, and it tasted marvelous!

We took the not-so-short walk over to the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. We didn't get to tour St. Paul's but we went to church there instead! Three church services today-We got way too much religion for our own good ;) This picture is in front of the extremely large doors of St Paul's.
