London pictures!


London from the view atop St. Paul's

Today I went to Hillsong, which is technically a church but it is held in a theatre in London and it is massive. It is 2 hours long and it is basically a rock concert. People are jumping up and down, holding hands, arms in the air, and clapping a lot. It's pretty...interesting. I fell asleep during the "homily" which was some guy talking about Peter and Paul I think. Or I may be getting that confused with the paintings at the National Gallery. Anyway, it was an experience. Afterwards they have these mints and coffee for you or something. It was like intermission.

Scarley and I went to Movida last night...omg...more randomness and drinks. We also went to Portabello Road Market - it was SO cool. All these fresh veggies and fruits and handmade clothing and jewelry! Too bad it was a downpour and sections of the tube were closed...what a mission too get home.

I am leaving soon for Paris - can't wait to see Janice, Jeanny, and Lindsay!! :)

I am returning to the museums tomorrow and going out for drinks probably on Tuesday with Scarley, her friends, maybe Jon and Vince, and Kev is arriving in London that morning so mayhaps he will join...

And on the job front: I accepted an offer from COTA Health and will be starting there when I return to Toronto. I am continuing to interview at other places still - I will keep you posted.


The view from the top of St. Paul's Cathedral. It was spectacular even though I had to climb 500+ stairs to the top. It was like Grouse Grind, indoor version.


Hanging out in Green Park. The weather has been so erratic and hot and cold during the day. I had expected to stay there with my book all day and read but it got pretty cold when the sun wasn't out. There are tons of the green chairs in the parks and you can sit in them for 1.50 GBP per hour.


Tower Bridge, not London Bridge :)


The Tower of London...where they used to hold prisoners and traitors. Pretty cool and I went on the tour by a guy called a Beefeater. It was a lovely day!


Russell Square


British Museum...that's Venus!! I love this place.


An exhibit at the Tate Modern - it was supposed to feel like loneliness walking through the corridors. I dunno. I don't get modern art really...but I guess it's a pretty cool picture...


Eros at Piccadilly Circus


Joanna, Afsaneh and me at some bar that I can't remember the name of but it was 300 years old and in a cave with a wine cellar!

That's all for now...more later!

Love,
