London on Saturday!

 Saturday we didn't get as early of a start, but we got in really late from the show on Friday so we decided to sleep in a little. I saw this sign posted in London and thought it was pretty funny! When we got there we were trying to find some tickets to Les Miserables on Wednesday, but couldn't get enough for everyone who wanted to go. So after that we went into the National Portrait Gallery. This has original portraits of important people in British history, going back to the Tudor period in the 1400s. So that was a really neat thing to see, especially when Britain and American history merged for a little bit.

 That night we were going to a classical concert at St. Martin in the Fields church, which is right on Trafalgar Square. In the crypt of this church was a cafe, so that's where we ate. It was so so good! I had some chicken with a Brandy sauce, with potatoes and a vegetable stir fry. Some of the other girls got bread pudding for dessert, so I had to too! It was pretty good, but not that sweet. Compared to mom's, it is a 5 and Mom's is a 10, haha. I should've known, but that's ok. After we ate, we just went upstairs to the show. This is the look inside. It is a beautiful church!

 The concert played Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Pachelbel Canon in D, some stuff by Mozart and more by Vivaldi. It was so good. I definitely wanted to go to a classical concert in London, and this one did not let me down! It is a highlight of my trip so far for sure!

 The glass windows at the front of the church have this weird circular piece, that when light outside looks strange. But when the sun starts to go down, the circle glows! It looks so neat.

 After the concert we walked just a little bit to see London at night. This is the London eye and County Hall lit up at night.

 Big Ben!

 It was exactly 10o'clock.

 Then we went to Piccadilly Circus, which is London's Time Square. That was pretty neat to see, but also very crowded.

So that's all for London. Like I said earlier, I loved it! Today (Sunday) is a more relaxed day. It is raining and so I am just going to spend the day inside. I haven't had a day like this since I've been in Europe. At 6 tonight we are going to a church service in St. Aldates. I am looking forward to this, and our professor said it is so that we can appreciate the global kingdom of God. After today I have 3 full days before I will be home!! I must say I am ready.
