New post whether you like it or not. Sunday I think we walked till we dropped. But it was all so beautiful. We went to church at Hyde Park. It is a very ritzy neighborhood. We walked by Victoria and Albert museum, the National Science Museum, on to Kensington Park and then Hyde Park then Harrods for some very good Gelato. (ok so forget it was Sunday and that we shouldn't do these things on Sunday....the gelato was really good) Anyone for a 1000 dollar purse at Harrods's? On to Grouvernor Square and the embassies all in a row, up to Green Park and Rich you better appreciate this we found the Hard Rock Cafe and gift shoppe and you now have London Sticks!!!. It wasn't too far to Buckingham Palace to visit the Queen. She didn't answer. Sometimes Visiting Teaching is soooo hard to do. The flowers in St. James Park by the palace were so beautiful. It was a beautiful Spring day. A large group of men in bowler hats dressed to the nines and carrying umbrellas walked by. We found them later at the home of the Queen's guard gather in the parade ground for something. Don't know what. But it was very British looking and interesting. We walked on to the Princess of Wales pub where we had fish and chips, well I had Sunday Roast with Yorkshire pudding. Then in the pouring rain we rain to catch the Tube over to the Court of Justice where Dad and I will return today to see the Inns of Court. This is one of the oldest parts of London not far from the Thames. There were buildings from the 1600's there that had survived the Great Fire of London in the 1600's. We then walked up to St. Pauls and went inside. There was no bird lady feeding the pigeons outside like in Mary Poppins but it was interesting anyway. Not exhausted and wet we got the TUbe and a bus back to the flat stopping to get a hot chocolate at Starbucks and crashing at the flat. Whew what a day! Today its the Tower of London, Inns of Court, the Eye of London ferris wheel and then the musical Oliver. So we are off after a few pictures here for your enjoyment. Love to you all.
Church. WE really did go!
Gelato at Harrods. Yummy. Lemon and Orange Cheesecake!
The Queen won't answer her gate. Maybe I should have knocked louder
Snoozing in St. James park
The Queen's guards hanging around for something. We couldn't figure out what
The Courts of Justice. Sort of imposing don't you think?
Ok that is enough for now. Love to you all. Ta Ta for now.

I know why the Queen didn't answer-- you look like Jehovah's Witnesses!!
