Sunday, July 15th

Sunday, July 15th... I went to mass like a good little girl! I drug myself out of bed earlier than what I have since I've been here just so I could make it to mass at St. Paul's. This place, like most others in England, is also indescribable. It is huge and absolutely gorgeous. I have seen plenty awesome cathedrals, but none that hold a candle to St. Paul's. We had really good seats too. Unfortunately, we weren't supposed to take pictures of the inside. And yes, I've already been wondering if I bought myself a ticket to hell for taking pictures anyway. Oh yeah, and for the month of July is when St. Paul's does their singing mass. Nearly everything was sang by an all mens/boys choir. I was in Jenny Heaven (no pun intended). It was awesome.

When we left St. Paul's, there was an interesting little acrobat show going on outside in the courtyard. There were 8 people and a 20' ferris wheel. For lack of better description, they're insane. They clipped themselves to the inside of this wheel and let it spin them and while they flipped around hands-free. They're a heck of a lot braver than I am.

We returned to campus to meet up with fellow comrades. One of the highlights of this day was getting a dominos pizza and a coke for under $5 USD! Impressive if you ask me! After our fufulling pizza, we navigated our way to Abbey Road. I couldn't have made a trip to London without going here. We walked across Abbey Road a few times. There's a website where you can go watch people walk across in real time...I recommend it for anyone who enjoys people watching as much as I do. You'll see some pretty interesting people- that's for sure.

After Abbey Road, we ventured around some more. We ended up in Camden Market. It was quite unique. Almost like a huge flea market. And yes, I did buy something fro twice as much as what it was worth just to learn that it was regular price right down the road. Camden is rather scary and I'm not one to be easily intimidated! Police patrol is everywhere because it's just a bad part of town. We didn't waste much time there.
