HARRODS! and st. paul's cathedral.

well....it's wednesday. you know what that means....no class = another adventure day for chandler & kaylee! we planned on going to st. mark's cathedral for a 12:30pm service, but we were running late, so we decided to go to the evensong at 5pm. before that, we decided to go to the one and only HARRODS. that place is SO magical. it beat my expectations. i can't accurately describe it...you have to see it in person to understand. i'm pretty sure they don't allow photography in there, but being the stealthy person i am, i managed to get some shots. we also went to Harvey Nichols (which was princess diana's favorite department store) which was also super cool. it wasn't as extravagant as harrods, but it was still great. on the fifth floor, they have a giant restaurant/food court/grocery area. we then jumped on the tube to camden (its becoming a favorite hangout....) because kaylee wanted fish & chips. i told myself i would get it, but i backed out. we ended up going to this really cool pub called Oxford Arms. we ducked in at the right time -- it was starting to rain. kaylee got her fish & chips, and i got a bacon & cheese baguette with "chips". it was SO delicious. the bacon wasn't bacon at all though....it was more canadian bacon. 
since we missed the 12:30pm service, we went to the evensong at 5pm. st. paul's cathedral is where prince charles and princess diana got married. again...pictures weren't "allowed" by i snuck some anyway. i don't think i will ever get sick of these cathedrals....the architecture, the statues, the murals....it is absolutely incredible. we even got to sit with the choir in these throne-looking seats. my feet hardly touched the floor! i would definitely love to take a tour.
