"Mind the Gap"

Mind the gap... that's what the automated voice says when you step on the Tube (aka subway). We did almost all of London today!! Went in the National Gallery and saw Van Gogh, Cezanne, Renoir, Degas, and all sorts of amazing art... trecked around Piccadilly Circus, saw Parliament, Big Ben, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, and got tickets for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" tomorrow night at Shakespeare's Globe theatre for 5£!!!! (Standing room only for groundlings like us :). We got yelled at by an English boy as we took a picture going up the escalator, "Hey foreign exchange students!! YEAH!" So... the whole inconspicuousness is going great. My fav part of the day was the very end when we attended Evensong at St. Paul's Cathedral-- the gorgeous gilded church with vaulted ceilings and a choir of angelic voices to fill it. We sat and stood and kneeled and prayed during the liturgical service at the place where Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married, then returned to the Gandon's home for some incredible dinner and wine. We topped it off with some pound cake and ice cream and a nice game of "Banana Grams" (Scrabble on steroids) with all six of us. Tomorrow is Buckinham, London Bridge, lunch with Crystal's friend Tammy and a 7 o'clock show. Off to bed at 9 PM again! Much love
