Ah - I am a bit tired right now- but I guess that is what happens when you are touring London for 3 days in a row. :) We toured the Tate Modern art museum today complete with the most bizzare intriguing artwork you could imagine, as well as the Global Theatre- that's right Shakespeare and I are buds. Hillsong United London Church this morning was amazing- we met people from all over- London, Zambia, France, Bosnia- it was in a broadway theater and felt almost like a concert- it was so neat to see everyone all worshipping together and really excited and passionate about the Lord!

We actually hung out with the Lit London Taylor peeps a bit, as well - and went to a crazy little ('little'is pronounced with the t's silent with the British accent mind you) sushi bar- where there are mini platters that are rotated throught the restaurant on conveyer belts! The food has been spectacular- besides the sushi we had Thai at Tuck Tuck, the most to-die-for tiramassu at a cafe in Picadilly's Square, more tea than we could hope for, and interestingly enough- blood pudding. But they didn't bother to tell us the ingrediants until after we ate it. Although thinking about the things we are going to try in Tanzania it kind of pales in comparison.

So last night we walked around Picadilly's Circus which is kind of like the Time Square of London and browsed through some great shops in Oxford Circus. We saw a crazy protest occurring in Trafalgar's Square - it wasn't too crazy I mean- just 1000's of people ya know. We stopped at Harrod's themost high-scale store in London - even the lous were fancy -haha. And we walked around Portobello's market for a long time where they had a bunch of reasonable -ish goods sold by 100's of vendors. It was so much fun!

Oh and did I mention that our great hosts-Jan and Paul- took us to watch Wicked the other night? It was just astounding. So we are having a great time- we can navigate around teh tube (the underground) like it's our job- I'm not going to lie.

Then tom is the cliffs on the coast and seeing Jan's girl scout troop -British children are the cutest thing I have ever seen- I'm going to bring one home... and then going out in the evening. Then to Oxford for Tuesday and then the city Wednesday again! So it's been crazy and a blast- cheers love!
