All London, All Day!




It is Sunday, we are on a pilgrimage, and we are in London - the birthplace of Methodism! After I had the opportunity to enjoy a quick run in Hyde Park, it was time to eat a full English breakfast and hit the road! We went to church and church related things today more than once; the end result was an excellent day full of history and great times. We started the morning with a full English breakfast, took quite a trip on the 'Tube' to worship at Wesley's chapel. We then walked through Bunhills cemetery to see the grave site of John Wesley's mother - Susannah Wesley, stopped by the Museum of London to view the spot at Aldersgate where Wesley's heart was 'strangely warmed'. A quick bite at the cafe, then onto the tube again to Trafalgar square for a nice walk all the way down to Westminster Abbey where we took in an organ concert at 5:45 and then evening service at the Abbey at 6:30. Back on the tube to Victoria station, stop by a pub for a quick pint (we ARE in England) and then dinner as a group. A full and fast day...tomorrow promises to be much of the same! Holly had a WOW moment while standing in front of the House of Parliament today...she's really in England!!! We continue to take plenty of photos - the top 19 are available for you now...don't forget to use your very fancy password: england.
