Today Mom was nice and let me sleep until about 8:30am. Since today was our shopping day we didn't rush out the door. We started off going to Portobello Rd. Lots and lots of booths and people. Of course we'd have to pick Saturday to go which means everyone else is there too. We wandered up and down only about a quarter of the entire market and then decided to move on.
After Harrod's we walked up the street to Hyde Park. I love Hyde Park and we haven't even scratched the surface yet! So green! Little waterfalls and patches of flowers. There was a lot of people there too, but that's only to be expected on a Saturday afternoon. We relaxed on the grass and ate snacks for almost an hour before moving on. Just as we got up to leave it started to spit a little but never really began raining.
We hopped back on the Tube and rode to South Kensington to find the church buil
ding before tomorrow, so we know where we're going. :D Sure doesn't look like any chapel we have in the States, but you do what you can. We talked to some people about calling Nic, got a drink and used the bathroom. Very refreshing. Then we walked to Harrod's and wandered through. They won't let you wear your backpack...you have to carry it. It doesn't look classy to wear a backpack. They had all different rooms and we only wandered through a few. The chocolate room, the 
ethnic foods room, the over priced handbags room and the cheese/butcher room. Crazy place, but I got some marvelous desserts in the chocolate room.

We walked out of Hyde Park, past Apsley House and the Wellington Arch, down the Princess Diana Memorial Walk to Buckingham Palace. Changing of the Guard is in the morning so we missed that, but at least there were le
ss people there. We took some pictures and the decided to just head back to the flat to eat and call home. We just ate stuff we had in the fridge for dinner and talked o
nly to Katelyn very briefly. And I must note that today Mom ate a whole yogurt and actually enjoyed it! Amazing! Now it's time for bed because church at 9am comes very early. And today's random thought is that the English love their monuments. They build large monuments for everything!
