After Buckingham Palace Beccah, Mallory, Whitney, Julia and I went to the restaurant ASK. It was the last horrah of going out to eat before we leave. It was very delicious food. I ordered an Italian pesto pasta. It was delicious, and tasted like American Italian not real Italian which was nice ha ha. We spent about an hour or so at lunch and then Julia and I seperated from the others and went to Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey was really cool. It's a really really old cathedral that is full of memorials to all sorts of great people and burial sites for the kings and queens of the country. Julia was so funny she found the Abbey to be a complete unorganized mess. But I thought it was so cool. To stand in the same place that Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Winston Churchill and other great people had once stood was really cool for me. My favorite part of the Abbey was the memorial to the Unknown Soldier. It was this beautiful plaque on the floor and was where a soldeir from WWII had been buried. They never were able to identify him and this happens to so many soldiers. So in honor of all the unknown soldiers they created this memorial. It was a beautiful plaque and had roses all around it.
After Westminster we had to go back to Portobello Road AGAIN to meet up with the other girls. I'm pretty sure that was our third time going back. ha ha. and I found something to buy again! It's a total trap for me. I bought the prettiest dress though it was completely worth it. We had to quickly run over to Queensway so I could buy a duffel bag to get all of my crap home! Luckily it only cost me 5 pounds. Thank heavens.
