LoNdOn Day #3

  It was another wonderful day in London. We went to the National Gallery again for another peek at the Impressionist art.  We then raced off to Westminster Abbey.  This is where most of the royals get married.  While going through Westminster we saw lots of royal dead people's graves.  We also saw Charles Dickens, Henry Longfellow, and other famous people graves.  After Westminster we went to Wicked.  I've seen this before in L.A.  They did a really good job and it was almost as good as the one in L.A.  It was kind of fun hearing the play with a British accent.  My favorite part was the song, Defining Gravity.  I get the goosebumps every time.  We then wondered around London for the rest of the evening.  It was nice having a more laid back day.

Highlight:  Seeing a guy with  a BYU hat in the National Gallery of Art and talking with him.  It's a small world when you're Mormon.

Lowlight:  Food in England is expensive, especially in London.  A normal dinner cost about 12 pounds (that's about $20).  Good thing I have a high paying job as a teacher :)
