The Seventeenth Day: Church, Science Museum, Organ Recital. Plus: Chris's Camera Catch-Up

Happy Sunday, people!

We woke up early and spent the morning at church. We had a pretty great lesson in Sunday School about the Old Testament prophet Abraham, and had a Munch-n-Mingle after church (an excuse to eat pot-luck food while meeting the ward members). We ate where all the kids congregated. There's a pretty rowdy bunch of 'em in our ward, jumping off chairs and stuff. Feels like being at home in Utah. Haha.

After church, we hit up the Science Museum. Admission is free, and there are about 3 different museums right across the street from our ward-house, so we visit them after the meetings. Today was the last day of half-term, which is a break from school, so the place was packed with even more kids. We joined a tour group of the Flight Exhibits. Turns out the tour was meant for kids. Like, 5 year old kids. But we tagged along with the parents anyway. Nobody knew we didn't have a kid in the throng. Hilarious. I loved listening to the little ones answer the guide's questions in their little accents. Adorable. I learned about someone I want to learn MORE about, though: Amy Johnson!

Isn't she lovely?

A well known female pilot, or "aviatrix" as they were called in the day. In the '30s, she attempted a world record to be the first person to fly from Great Britain to Australia in 15 days. Her plane crashed en route, and she FIXED IT, and kept flying. Amazing. We saw her actual plane at the science museum.
After the museum, we headed to St. Paul's Cathedral for an Organ Recital. It was AMAZING. The cathedral is breathtaking, and the music was lovely. Before the recital started, we caught the tail end of the Sunday Sermon. I'd never experienced Catholic church before, (or Anglican... we're not really sure. The program mentioned both. I don't know the difference...) it was really interesting to see the procession of priests and the choir leaving the cathedral at the end of the service.

Anyway, want to hear some of the recital? Chris sneakily recorded some with his phone even though he wasn't supposed to.

He also took a photo of the ceiling of the cathedral even though he wasn't supposed to. He's a rule-breaker, guys. And on a Sunday, even. Tsk, tsk.

That picture doesn't do it justice. Check THESE out.

Afterward, we went back to the flat to have a lazy Sunday. I've been getting caught up on my favourite American TV Show, FaceOff. I found a website where you can stream past episodes for free. Happy Kami.

And now: "Chris's Camera Catch-Up" a segment of photos from Chris's camera that I never posted. You're welcome.

In Oslo, Norway at Vigeland Park

It's in Norwegian. High Five if you know what this is.

Got it yet?

I'll tell you. It's a picture book of "What Does the Fox Say?" Why does this even exist? 

This is the clock tower at University of Birmingham. Chris went there on a work trip. Just lovely. 

This library is so cute! It's at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers just across from St. James Park. I wouldn't understand any of the books there. Worst library ever. Real cute lookin' though. Chris also went here for a work meeting.
