on a wednesday

Here are some really terrible pictures from today because I made a goal to try to blog every day until I go home.  Nothing too exciting.  There's a woman from my friend Christi's home stake here and she invited Christi to come eat lunch at her house (and somehow I snagged an invitation too).  It was great -- pasta, muffins, American accents . . .  Then after we walked through St. James's Park (S'n-James, as they pronounce it here) and stopped by Buckingham Palace.  We went to Lion King that night and it was INCREDIBLE.  All the costumes were amazing.  Imagine a man with stilts on his arms and legs and a giant giraffe head on top of his and you might begin to understand.  Spectacular.  I loved every second of it.
