Day 17

Well...all we can say is...it sure is a good thing we left at noon on our walk to church (that started at 2:30pm)!!! We were walking nonstop the entire 2 1/2 hours, barely got there on time. It was nice, though, we were able to see a lot of the city that we wouldn't have otherwise! Church was pretty much the exact same as it is in Utah, really...there were probably more Americans than there were English! The first guy that spoke to us was from Highland Utah and Kelly went to school with his little brother, ha what are the chances?!

After church, we walked over to Hyde Park to meet Katie and Matt. Kelly also had emailed a couple friends in the area and told them to meet us by the Albert Memorial if they were able to, and a couple of them actually came. Mathias is actually from Austria but just so happened to be in London the same weekend as us, and Tod lives nearby and surprisingly showed up as well! It was good to see them, and spend some time in the infamous Hyde Park (HUGE, by the way).

We weren't about to walk all the way back to Russell Square, so we paid the 2 pounds to take the bus back...and parted ways with Katie at the bus station, she had to catch the last train back to Bristol.
