Super Fun Day

Trevor and I had a busy day today.   After spending an incredibly lazy saturday at the house, we decided to make a half-day trip to London to stretch our legs a bit!  We took the 1:00pm train, which was super busy (trevor had to stand) and then headed to our normal shopping/walking area around Piccadilly.  I love Fortnum & Mason and we always have to make one round of the store just to check out all the goodies and novelty items that they have... I almost talked Trevor into making a stop at The Parlor, their ice cream bar, but of course we decided to pass.  We then kept walking around New Bond Street, to check out some of the mens shops before stopping at Selfridges to do some quick window shopping!

The main reason for our trip into London was to hear one of Trevor's speakers from class, Jay Smith,  debate Christianity vs. Islam at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park.  It was super cool to watch and the crowd (or mostly muslims) was really into it.  The idea behind Speaker's Corner is that anyone who has something to say about anything can come with their step ladder, stand on it, and say it.  Pretty interesting place to be, would recommend anyone to stop by if ever near Hyde Park.
