It was weird to be remembering September 11th and not be home. We decided to go to a proper Sunday church service to pay our respects and remember all we have to be thankful for at the Westminster Abbey. WOW! unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside the church, but as soon as you enter you understand why Princess Di and William and Kate chose to have their wedding ceremonies there. Words cannot describe how breathtakingly amazing this church is. When you come and visit us- you'll have to see for yourself!
After mass we headed over the bridge for a day on the river. Londoners looovvveee festivals! this one was a little bit more like a festival you would see in the US. Food stands, arts and crafts, games for kids, street performers, did i mention the food stands. The big difference with festivals here in the UK is that grabbing a walk around beer and/or Pimms (a classic brit cocktail) is a must- well unless you are eight months pregnant. Anyway, the festival was on the South Bank. This is an area right on the Thames (very similar to a boardwalk, a very classy, upscale, expensive boardwalk). The London Eye, London Aquarium, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, The Tate Modern Museum, numerous little shops, cafes, and outdoor exhibits are all located within this little stretch. We have lived in London for 7 weeks now and have been to the South Bank three times- i guess you can say we really like it there. As you will be able to tell from the pictures that Tom took, we were very excited to get some legit polska kielbasa!
