"somebody else can lick my bowl if they want to"

hahaha diet camp isn't as bad as i thought! woohoo! well yet..we'll have to see after i eat all the rice crispys and 100 calorie bags of cheetos. but it shouldnt be bad...i can swipe the fruit from the portobellos market. but today we woke up to go to church..and while getting ready for the day..merrit burned her hair off...broke my straightener...and that was just a delight.

then we took the train to wherever..i dunno i've been lost since the second we got here...but anyways we couldnt get on the train or something and merrit wore the wrong shoes and got about 15 blisters so we hopped back on the train and came back to our barbie apartment and changed and decided we wanted to go on one of thoes double decker bus tours and so we got on the train....take two...and we walked around forever trying to find the dang bus place so finally we found that..plopped on that and road around on that until it started pouring rain then we got off..

ugh i cant really remember what we did first..umm oh yeah we got off at this park and ate some food and watched people rollerskate and we wished we were doing that with them...then we got back on the bus and saw speakers corner so we got off and listened to all the crazies there..which was really interesting but then it was raining like NO OTHER so we got back on and road for a while.

then we got off of the bus at st. pauls catherdral..which was really amazingly beautiful! i was so mad that we couldnt take pictures because it was sunday..but we might go back..but we sat through evening song or something which was weird because..they sing wacky. all i could hear was.."close your eyes..go to sleep...little baby mallory" so dont worry i did. the sermon was way weird..well i dunno i was fast asleep actually. but it was a good powernap! woo!

so then we had to go to the bathrooms..and no joke they were the best bathrooms i've ever been to. the toilet paper came out like pre cut...and i there were windows in the doors..youcouldnt really see through them..but it was way cool anyways...i was amazed...

then we got back on the bus because my dads friend that he used to work with..but then they moved to paris..and him and his wife and their son were here visiting or something and so we wanted to hook up with them to get dinner so we came back and fixed our ugly frizzy rain hair...that we all had :) just wait for the pictures hahaha. it's hilarious

so we grabbed our umbrellas and walked down portobellos road looking for my dads mystery friend and i walked right past them and they were all HELLO. (okay i kinda feel like i'm blabbing and telling weird stories that make no sense but i'm trying to multi task) anyways so we went to the organic cafe and had pizza there..which was so amazingly yummy..you have no idea. then we talked and talked and talked forever. then their son left to go meet up with his friend..and they were going to walk us home because the train station is really close to our house...so they ended up coming over and we are just sitting here talking to them..still...haha but they are hilarious. i guess they have this giant house in paris and they keep trying to convince us to go visit them while we are there..so i am thinking...it's 80 pounds round trip..so thats like 160 dollars..so me and merrit could totally go down there for like..2 days...just see the main things you know..i'd pay for half...for sure! :)

so..so far..this day has been so amazing! i just cant get over how awesome this is...i wish so much that i could share the joy i feel with all of you :) i would definately recommend coming here...for sure. it's weird because you know you are in a different country...but everyone speaks the same language as you so it's kinda freaky..i love it though! anyways...i guess i'll be done for today haha..
