Sunday and church with the queen!

Well, Sunday we got up and got on the tube (subway) to go to westminster for church at Westminster Abbey. This is where the Queen goes to church but she wasn't there that morning. I guess she didn't get the memo that I was coming. Anyways, there were about 150 people there besides the choir but it was really like we were at a preformance not church. They gave everybody a program that told you when to sit or stand. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the Cathedral but I took some outside. Even if we could take pictures it wouldn't have done justice to how detailed it was and how much time and energy it had taken those people to build it. After that the whole group (except Kurt and his dad) went to lunch at the Rainforest cafe. It was our last meal with everybody before we all dispersed to our different destinations. After lunch a bunch of us walked through Green Park and saw Buckingham Palace in all it's glory. I knew the Queen was there because the flag was up, but again she didn't come out to greet me. From there we went to Harrods and got lost in there for a couple of hours. It's sad when a store is so big they have tour guides and maps to help you find the department you want. In those 2 and 1/2 hours we were there I saw maybe a floor total and couldnt grasp how much stuff there was and how expensive it was all at the same time. Outside of Harrods there were all these chauffers and expensive cars waiting for thier filthy rich owners to come out. I felt important..I would have felt more important if one of those Rolls Royce cars belonged to me.
After my little escapade at Harrods, Kelly, Aubrey, and I went to Jacqueline's flat and had tea time before dinner. For dinner Camille, her mom, Aubrey, Mike and I went to a pizza place called Porcechetta. Mike was leading the way becasue he knew where it was...well a half and hour later and after asking a lady we made it there. So after we ate I took the map and it only took us 10 min to get us back...much better.

Tomorrow is our last day in London and overseas. I can't believe it is coming to an end. What will toomorrow bring...well...you'll see!
