Don't you wish your senior pics were hot like mine?

Friday we paid a visit to Hampton Courts- Built by Henry VIII as a summertime castle... or a vacation castle or something I liked it because it was all red brick, and because the gardens were quite extensive. The kitchens were a VERY important part of the castle, they were huge. And if you've seen the progression of the sizes of Henry's armor through the years, you can see it took it's toll haha. The fountains and ponds and grass are all so pretty, and the daffodils... ah. Instead of telling you about the gardens of daffodils I'll just show you picture. I got a total High School senior pictures photo shoot. This is most likely the one that mom would've framed and put on the piano for a year after graduation.

This is another picture of me behind a bush. It has NO significance or relevance to anything whatsoever.










After we headed home, we walked into this little ice cream shop to get cones because it was a beautiful day. Well from the moment we walked in, to the time the girl handed me my nutella ice cream, I turned around and it was POURING outside. So we went and played in the rain and ate ice cream. It was so fun.


Ever since the day I arrived in this blessed land there's one specific goal I've had in mind: Abbey Road. I'm surprised it took till now to get four people to join me in the conquest, and it turns out it's SUPER close to where we live. This is the legit actual spot, and a semi-legit picture- keep in mind that we did the best we could, I mean they've repainted the crosswalk, and the trees are dead, and we ARE girls after all. Abbey studios is right next to where this picture was taken. I love the Beatles.


Then me and Reesa went to Camden market, to be surrounded by people with piercings, mohawks, and big leather boots. I bought a super-touristy Union Jack hat. It's one of those things that is way hideous and embarrassing to wear in the UK, but way tight in America. Believe me, you and all your friends WILL be jealous.
I also had another one of them donoughts. Oh my. Those are good.
Then I ate at Nando's.
Dear America, we really need to get Nando's. Love, Sarah.
Dear England, we DESPEREATELY need to get Cafe Rio. Love, Sarah.
After our meal we decided to go hear Evensong at St. Pauls. I haven't been back to St. Pauls since my first week here, and it was a BLAST from the past. Oh my, it's so funny how different my eyeballs see things now. I think St. Pauls is my favorite cathedral, It's so light inside, and the colors are so pretty. I'm so glad I went back inside, it's fun that I'm learning about the evolving of cathedrals in my Civ. class, and I can actually see it all when we visit them. Did that make sense? Well it did to me.
Evensong was really pretty. The acoustics are really echoey. This one was done by just the men in the choir. The tenors could sing high enough to suffice for the women, no worries.
Anyways, tomorrow is my last day of church, and then we go on our North trip to Liverpool and such. It's going to be interesting having all of us cooped up on the coach for so many hours.... lets just say we've been spending a LOT of time together and it's reaching a boiling point for some. I'm not worried, Reesa is my London buddy and we do just fine.
I bought the naughty children donoughts. I love them. :( I know they can't sit still long enough to hear me tell them how happy I am that I know them, so I decided that donoughts were the second best way to express it.
