Trip - Day 2

Day two of our trip was pretty low key. It was Sunday, so we slept in a bit and looked for an 11:00 sacrament meeting to attend. We walked in, sat down, and looked around...everyone was latino. We happened to pick a Portuguese ward. It was a little comical. Of the two chapels in all of London, with 5 wards to choose from, we picked the foreign one. We were the only white people listening to a spaniard try and read a spanish talk in portuguese. At least Johnny could understand some of it.

After church we walked through Hyde Park to find a place to eat.

We stopped at a little sandwich shop. It was good, but I paid 7 pounds for a sandwich Drake could've made.

At least I was able to take some fun British pictures from where I was eating.

Next stop, the British Museum

This ceiling was crazy. Johnny is the small guy in the middle. See the stairs on the left? He's about to tear something in his foot when he climbs those, and he doesn't even know it yet...

...photo taken one minute after he put his foot down and yelled "Ow!", echoing all around us. He'd pulled a tendon in his foot and could barely put any weight on it. That was problematic, being day two of a 12 day trip.

And yes, Johnny has a man purse.

Kidding, its my camera bag that he carried the entire trip

(even though he was injured, he's great like that)

The museum was huge, but we stuck to the Egyptian stuff. I'm pretty fascinated by things carved in sandstone dating back to 3000bc

THE Rosetta Stone, I thought that was pretty exciting.

Time lapse, why? I don't know.

After the museum we walked around a bit - veeerrry slowly due to Johnny's limp - looking for an underground. I was ok walking slow, cause I could then take pics of cute London things.

How we rolled

Next stop, Tower of London

Nice outfit

After walking through the perimeter, we headed into this part of the castle to see the crown jewels. If I had a pound for every time Johnny used 'crown jewels' out of context I'd have about 14 pounds.

(photo from google, we weren't allowed to take pics inside)

British snacks

Into the armory.....

This was pretty impressive, I can't believe what they had to wear to fight. I'd be too lazy and say, "Cool, you want this land? Give me some cows and roasted peanuts and we'll call it a truce."

Chillin on a bench, letting Johnny recuperate a bit.

Before heading home, Johnny decided he'd better stop here to see if he could "rent" crutches, then take them to Paris in the morning.

They said no.
