London Trip - Day Two (Morning)

Wow, another day another blog, so here it goes.

On our second day in London. We planned to visit the branch and have lunch at Bethel. Amy was able to ask her friend Jamie to have us as his guest. Woo-hoo! We woke up and took our showers and got out of the house in somewhat record time. I was moving a little slow that morning, but part of it was due to slight jet lag and the fact that Amy's clock was set at the wrong hour. It was an hour behind, so I kept thinking I had tons of time. Anyway when I realized what the actual time was I picked up my pace. We were able to buy our day pass for the tube and bus. We ran across the street to the bus stop. Elissa and I had to get use to driving on the wrong side of the road, and also looking both ways before we crossed the street. We weren't use to cars coming at the opposite direction when we were trying to cross the street. Once we got to the bus stop we had time, so we made the most of the opportunity and took pics. LOL We took the bus to a tub station, and took the tube for a while, and then we took another bus to the branch. Sounds confusing but its not - bus,tub, bus - got it? LOL Anyway we were running pretty good with time despite the delays when we finally saw our stop. We rang the bell on the bus, but guess what apparently our bus driver was hard of hearing and he didn't let us off. STOP!!! We finally got off and ran down the hill to Bethel. I must say I got a lot of exercise during my trip. Anyway we reach the branch just as the doors are closed for lunch. WAAAAAHHHH!!!! Thankfully Jamie got us in afterward, and saved us a plate. Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone. Anyway after our lunch we were able to see a lovely video of the branch, and then off we went on our tour. It was maintenance day so we didn't see a lot of action but it was still cool. Did I mention the weather was really sunny and gorgeous that was until we left Bethel, and then it rained.
Oh here is a pic of the lovely Bethel secretary. She was so sweet. She reminded me of a Swedish barbie doll or something. Seriously! That was our Bethel experience. We met a lot of really nice friends who were visiting from other parts of England.
