London- Day 3- Palm Sunday

Today I took the girls to St. Paul's Cathedral to go to church. Adrienne had said there was to be a Palm Procession with a donkey so I knew this was where we wanted to be. We headed to Paternoster Square and were immediately greeted by men who wanted us to get our Palm crosses. They were very gracious in explaining where the procession would come from and how we would process to the church.

A donkey led the procession through the square, followed by a brass band, the priests and two choirs. They stopped and had a short blessing of the palms in the square before we all sang and processed into the church. The cathedral was beautiful and the service was very nice. Lots of singing of hymns and they did a dramatic reading of scripture. We were even invited to take part in communion. It was a great morning!

After church we found a pub to eat lunch in, and then walked over to the river to take some pictures of the millennium bridge where a scene in Harry Potter was filmed.

After that fun photo shoot we went to the Albert and Victoria museum which was pretty cool. We saw instruments, clothing, jewelry and sculptures.

Then we came back to the hotel to wash up for dinner and decided to stay in our neighborhood to find something to eat. We chose a cute little Italian restaurant that didn't disappoint. Pizza, pesto, wine and desserts- yum! We decided that we did not eat enough today so we will work on that for tomorrow!
