It's all happening too fast

This whole internet thing is great until you don't have it for a week.. and then you get behind. And the list of things to share isn't getting shorter and I went on a wonderful walk through the moors this evening with Linda and their dog Lily. I love to hike, but to get to hike at someplace unique that we don't have anything like in the states is fantastic. As we were walking along we would come across sheep just roaming around. England is so cool. Now that my time is coming to an end I have started to think about all of the things that I have gotten used to here that I am going to miss.

Back to our week of touring last week...

Our second day in London we a more relaxed day but for sure an amazing one. We started off the day with a tour of the Royal Albert Hall- one of the most famous concert halls in the world. The reason for this special visit is because Sing Live will be taking a group of about 1000 people to sing there next September. This concert hall is a very sought after place to perform. I'm already making plans to come back next year. Not only did we get a special tour (this isn't a place that tourist can just go in and see) but we got to go behind the scenes and see the Royal Reception room where queen and other royalty stay behind the scenes when they come to see a show. When we walked into the concert hall a hush fell over the group it was so amazing.

This picture is the group in front of the statue of Albert. The hall was built for him but he died a year before it was completed so this memorial was built across the street. It was pretty elaborate.
Our next exciting event of the day was a trip to Andrew Lloyd Webers office! We didn't meet him but we met with the world wide licensing manager for all of Andrews works.
The day gets even better with a big trip to Harrods. Oh my gosh.. if you don't know what Harrods is it is THE place to shop. It's fun to go and be shocked at all the prices but it's definitely not cheap. Everything in it is so "posh"!

Well my computer has decided it is tired of loading pictures for the day so I will continue on tomorrow.
