Christmas morning we slept in and then opened a few presents. Denise had bought Union Jack socks for all of us to sport that day. We loved them! Transportation doesn't run on Christmas so we decided to walk into the city from Denise's. It took us about 35 minutes to walk to Tower Bridge from her flat.
From there we walked about another 45 minutes to St. Paul's for a Christmas Evensong service. We sat right under the dome but unfortunately couldn't take pictures inside the Cathedral. Take my word for it- it was amazing! They sang a few carols- one was to a tune I didn't know, but beautiful nonetheless.
After the service we booked it back to Denise's flat as it was freezing outside! We had Christmas dinner with her roommates of roast pork, veggies, and lots of yummy desserts, and then attempted to watch Elf. It was my third attempt of the trip, and I fell asleep, again.
Aren't you so glad you went? I can't wait till I can just take off on a trip like that...maybe next year. :) And your socks are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good shot of the cathedral. Well done. We didn't think to go to that side so all we have are forced perspective shots looking up at the basillica. Yeah, I suck as a photographer. But I am a darn good trip planner. Ahem, see Prague 2004 and London 2007. BTW, I now know why you all were so cold all the time. You were wearing anklet socks. Always remember, unless you are at Wimbeldon, anklet socks are not a good idea in London. Repeat, NOT a good idea in London.
ReplyDeleteHaha, don't worry Brad- that was only for Christmas morning- the rest of the time was tights as well as socks...
