Today was incredible. Rachel, Annalise, Brooke, Sydney and I made a trip to the London England TEMPLE! It was so incredible and gorgeous and I can't get over that we got to go! What an awesome once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (except we are planning to go again so twice-in-a-lifetime I suppose).
We had a travel adventure, that began with the Tube, then the overground, and then a long train ride, and a short Taxi until we arrived at the Temple. It is only about 20 miles from London, but with our travel inexperience, it took us about 2 hours to get there and then an hour and a half back once we knew what we were doing. Here are some pictures of the gorgeous countryside on the way there and then the cutest little train station at Lingfield, where the temple actually is:
Also here is a picture of the Taxi being driven on the left side of the road. Weirdest mind-boggling experience ever:

For lunch we walked down the most narrow sidewalk I have ever experienced in my life about 10 minutes to this little restaurant. It was literally the only thing there in the middle of the country side. I had Ministroni (no idea if that is even close to spelled right) soup and potato skins.
Also right across from the restaurant, there was this huge field with horses. That gives you a feel for where this restaurant really is, in the middle of nowhere..
Of course we took lots of pictures. Here are just a few of us:
That was just the most fantastic adventure. I loved it so much and it was absolutely 100% worth it. Later in the day, I went through Kensington Park. Home of the... THE Kensington Palace. (Did I mention this is like 2 blocks from where we live?.. uh yeah. Is this even real life?!) And the park is huge! Like 5 Central Parks could fit inside. What? Here are some (OK a lot) of pictures:
SO Gorgeous. It's just incredible, really. I can't get over it. Any of it.
