Yesterday we went again to the awesome open market. I got 8 huge, delicious potatoes for one pound, and I made a baked potato for lunch today. Everyone is obsessed with the baked potato seasoning I brought with me after I let them try it. They all want the recipe, Mom. At the market, there was this little Falafel stand, and since I have never had a falafel before, I decided that I would try one. Turns out, they're great!! Everyone was totally lusting over the one I had. Today in England, it's a special day. We are celebrating the circumcision of Jesus....yeah that's right. I know, I think that's weird too. Anyways, I went with a few friends to St. Magdalen Cathedral to their mass service. I walked inside the church, and I felt like I was in a movie set. The school children all wore the hats and cloaks we see in Harry Potter and stuff, and everything was grand. I'm pretty sure the roof of the cathedral was cramping up God in heaven. I'm telling you, this place was spectacular. We weren't allowed to take pictures there so the only one I have is bad quality since I was just trying to sneak a fast one without anyone seeing me. What also made it feel like a movie was that from the minute we stepped inside, we could hear singing. It was a BOYS' CHOIR!!! I'm not sure why, but I love the way they sound. Good for the soul I think. I always think of my man Jagger when he and that boys' choir sing "You Can't Always Get What You Want." I recorded the boys singing, but I don't know how to upload a voice memo yet, so you should just Google one and get a taste of what we got to hear. Tomorrow morning at 8 we are leaving for London, and I won't be back until lateee Saturday night. I should have some great stuff to blog about and awesome pictures when I get back. Can't wait!!
