On Sunday we went to church, which was so fun! I love my ward, I'm best friends with this cute old man named George Chittock. He is the sweetest. And then we headed home and did homework ALL day. Nothing too exciting. Pretty chill day. But it was definitely needed because the flu and the cold is going around the home and so everyone is sick and we all needed rest. It's kind of tough when there are 45 people living together.
So... MONDAY: We went to classes in the morning, and then we decided to go to St. Paul's Cathedral again and climb to the top to overlook the city skyline! The hike to the top was AMAZING! We climbed 656 steps, but it felt like less. Not only did we get to see the city skyline but we also got to see an aerial view of the cathedral/dome. It was perfect. The only thing that was super tough for me was the last half of the climb. The stairs for it were those see-through/grate type stairs without backs on them. That is one of my biggest fears. If you don't understand what I'm trying to explain... here's a picture. I don't know why I'm so afraid of them, but I am. I paid 14 pounds for the ticket though so I was going to the top!!! And I'm so glad I did because the view was perfect.

After going to St. Paul's we went to CAMDEN MARKET! My English professor from USU raved about this market and I also heard great things from others in my group. And boy oh boy were they right! I got off the tube and arrived at Camden. Right on the street there were quite a lot of tourist traps. But when you walk off the main street you get in these "horse stalls", which is sort of misleading. It isn't actual horse stalls, but rather a bunch of booths and crafty things that are so fun! Janie and I went shopping and sort of broke off from the bigger group, and spent the afternoon looking around, haggling prices down, and shopping in a light drizzle of rain. It was so fun.

We went back home, ate some food, and did some homework. All in all, an amazing day!
