London Day 2

Day 2 in London, whew!! Who knew the third time here would be the most exhausting? The 90 degree heat in August of 2003 was bad, but this is way more walking that I've done in awhile, but my parents raised me to walk so it's no problem for me. Today we had the wonderful experience of going to St. Pauls Cathedral, form Mary Poppins. I have never been in there before and let me tell you, it was amazing, simply breathtaking. The ornate workings in gold around the dome is enough to invoke the God fearing man in any person. I also was able to take a little time and offer a prayer for my Grandma who recently passed away, I know she would have liked that. We left St. Pauls looking for some place to eat and we stumbled upon a place that my Aunt had reccomended we go for years and years, Yo! Sushi. This place is a wonder just to sit and watch. Basically the premis is it's a sushi bar that they put in on conveyor belts and it rolls around the restaurant for you to pick up and eat. At the end of the meal, they total up your color coded plates worth different money values and that's your bill. It was so delicious, we ate so much! Rachel gave birth to a rice baby shortly after lunch and named it Edward, they are both in good health and doing very well. After st. Pauls we moved on to Harrods, any women's Heaven. We spent a good hour walking around in there, me basically following Rachel while she moved around the purse depatement with the attention span of a Goldfish, trying to find the perfect bag, which she did and she's very happy with it. I also made a purchase from the Sporting Goods section, an Arsenal jersey, they're a soccer team in London, much like Chelsea. So we escaped Harrods and went to meet up with the group at the Museum of Natural History, a place I've never been before. Now, one problem with this place was the fact that it did not have AC, on one of London's hottest days, filled with screaming and rnning kids. I have patience, but they were running thin after 5 mins in that place, interesting but not totally worth it. We caught the train back to the hotel and found dinner, concluding another successful day in London!
