Day 126 - London, Thanksgiving

Yesterday I gave my American friend a tour of London. After being there ~20 times, it was pretty easy to show him all the major landmarks with plenty of time to spare. We went to Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Parliament, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, that bridge where the Lake Havasu City bridge used to be, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Greenwich, West Ham, and the British Museum. We also saw a lot of other famous places on the way between those. One of the busses we rode on almost "had a smash". And the Jubilee Line was closed because someone jumped on the track to commit suicide (2nd night in a row).

Today we went to my main church. My friend goes to Riverside in Norman, which is the church this one reminded me of so much. I think he felt right at home. Afterwards we made San Antonio skillet and pumpkin pie for some friends at church. It wasn't quite a traditional Thanksgiving meal, and we had to improvise with a few English ingredients, but it was still very fun and gave them a little taste of America.
