I hadn’t acutally intended to update while I was here, but it was so much fun last week…


Spent all day in London yesterday.  Went to mass at a little church that Natalie has been to once (that is always a little weird for a Protestant), had lunch in Hyde Park, went to an organ recital at St. Paul’s Cathedral (took pictures of the steps that were in Mary Poppins to show the children), splashed around in the fountain in Trifalgar Square (spelling is wrong I think, but I’m too tired to care), met–and nearly fell for–a charming Irishman at a pub…what am I saying?  nearly…*sigh*… who reminded me so much of Tommy Yonley it was unreal.  Well, I guess Tommy could be that charming if he wanted.  (Obviously Sandy thought so.)  :-Þ  Let’s see, what else…took a video of Big Ben sounding out the four o’clock hour.  Daddy is getting the most amazing thank-you for buying this camera before I left.  It has been indispensible!


I think I might see Singing in the Rain.  Everyone else will probably go to Les Miserables, but somehow it just doesn’t appeal to me like the other.  Or maybe I just want to be different and since almost all of them have seen it before and love it, I decided to go see something none of them care about.  Well, actually Natalie really wants to see Singing in the Rain, too, so…


Rainy today (the first time since I’ve been here, which, I hear, is rare), and I have a little bit of a cold.  Prayers would be much appreciated.  I managed to buy a not-too-exspensive umbrella so at least I’m staying mostly dry.


Natalie is working today, Hannah H., Darra, and Michelle are in London again…mostly to see the Tower of London, I think.  So Hannah J. and I have been lazy and restful and finally decided to come into town.  She’s trying to find a poster and I wanted to get online.  Oh, and a trip to the grocery store is much needed.  We’ve been manging to eat for about £2 (around $4) per person every day (that all three meals).  Not bad, eh?


Yes, I am having fun.  A little homesick, but I really love all the comments.  Thanks guys!  Leah, Hannah is even more sensible than me sometimes!  Amazing, huh?  But I am watching out for her. 


God bless! 


 


P.S. Stacy, I’ll see about the postcard.  I have a feeling that even if I mailed one today, it might not get there before me.  *smiles*
