Winding down

Saturday

We hoped  on the tube and headed back to Convent Gardens to pick up the last few gifts for people back home and a cup of coffee to get us going.  We then Hoped back on the tube to go see Westminster Abbey.... 

Westminster was really cool and different then I remembered it being.  This time it seemed larger and more impressive.  Seeing the coronation chair was really cool along with the tombs of some of the most notorious royals.  
We then decided to walk to St. Pauls Cathedral.  This turned out to be a bit more of a walk than we anticipated, but a good way to see the city since we're leaving soon.  The mosaics inside of this church are incredible!  Carrie walked up to the top of the dome.  I decided it wasn't a good idea since my equilibrium is still really off to the point that I constantly feel like I'm sitting in a row boat.  

We then hoped on a  double deck bus and tried our damnedest to find Abbey Rd so I could write Jamie's name on the wall, but alas no luck. We headed back to the house to get ready for our big night out that was ultimately never to be.  Poor Carrie who started getting sick a few days ago (even though she wouldn't admit it) came to the realization that you may have the cutest dress in the world on, but when your nose looks like Rudolph's and leaks like a faucet it's just not that hot.  So, after months of wanting to go out to one specific club here she gave up the dream and we headed to bed early.
