Yesterday was a full day of sightseeing! We took a hop on hop off double decker bus to all the sights - Big Ben/Parliment, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, and many more building, parks, and sights! We also took a river cruise in the evening - going under about 10 bridges and getting a history lesson on some of the buildings right along the River Thames. It was a jam packed day - I honestly felt a little overwhelmed. Such a massive city, so much to take in, so many people, everywhere you look, you see something more amazing than the last! I kept thinking to myself "I can't believe I am walking around London, England!" We learned how to use the underground system - that in itself was so crazy - changing lines at some stops to catch other lines that would take us where we were going. We learned quickly to move to the right as we were walking, riding on escalators and so on - so we didn't get plowed over. A highlight for Scott was getting to visit Metropolitan Tabernacle where Charles Spurgeon, the great preacher from the 1850's preached from. He got to stand at a podium in the very room where the great Spurgeon preached from. We bought a couple of books at the book store there at the church. It was a thrill for him for sure! Here are a couple of pics from Saturday! As always, look on facebook for many more pictures - mine or Adam's. Enjoy :)
