Not all who wander are lost

My morning started by heading to the train station but I spotted a cafe on my way so I got some breakfast. There I met Tamara who was SO helpful and kind to drop the work she was doing and give me tips and help me figure out the best spots to go to. We had a great chat and I'm so glad you're aware of the law of attraction Tamara! That made me happy.

It's easy for people to believe that you can only get what an orange is made up of from an orange, well why would it be any different in the mental and spiritual realms?? What you impress upon your mind and heart is precisely what you're drawing into your life.

Front row seat to the show.

Thanks to Tamara my journey for the day started by heading over to the one and only Abbey Road. I had a blast just messing around taking pics and met my new friend Emi and her mom from Tokyo! I was trying to take some pics of her while standing in the middle of the road and almost got hit by a car. That was fun. Ha. 

 Look familiar anyone?!

Thinking about this day and how much life experience was crammed into it makes me want to never come home. (Sorry mom!)

Next stop was taking the underground to all the museums and found this along the way. The amount of gems I found in one day was pretty unreal!

Just a 330 million year old rock. No biggie.

The first of the museums was the natural history museum. It was incredible! Definitely my favorite. I was gonna say it was the highlight of the day but every moment was a highlight really.

They had this kind of ethereal music playing the background and it kept reinforcing in my mind the mysteriousness of life and how as humans we know nothing.

sup dude

Next up was the science museum which I guess included the flight museum. It was so great to just get lost in all these new places and simply lose myself in the moment. No past or future, just the present moment. That's all there is. 

Le Pain Quotidien

I asked some locals about where to get some good food and decided on Le Pain Quotidien! What an epic cafe it was. They specialized in organic & local food and even had fresh pressed juices. My body was craving some raw enzymes so that was a bonus! It was hilarious I was telling the lady what I wanted and couldn't remember what else I decided on and was turning the page and she goes "a glass of wine?" in her sweet accent, and I just burst into laughter! Ahh it was too funny, but I ordered some rustic prosciutto and asparagus sandwiches with fresh goat cheese, sweet onion compote and arugula. And a flourless belgium chocolate brownie. And some fresh juice of course. This meal was nothing short of spectacular. Truly food fit for a king!

The last museum of the day was the V&A. Wow. They had so much ancient artwork, sculptures, jewels, glass, metalwork, paintings, rugs, etc it blew my mind. So much history in one place. At this point in the day I had been walking for about six hours straight so I found a nice comfy bench and posted up to take a nap. And I awoke to a "yo!" Ahhhaha it was a security guard telling me to get my feet off the bench. Other than that he didn't care.

Next up for the day was the Imperial College of London. Apparently it's where they train you to be an official stormtrooper. 

Was walking down a random street and found this chapel that was built in the 1600's. Ummm all I can think of is this stuff doesn't exist in the U.S. in abundance like it does here.

Really cool theatre in London. If I would have been here a week later I could have seen Gladiator in HD with a live orchestra!!

Lookey lookey what I found in Hyde's Park. An LDS church! Which they've turned into a kind of visitor center as well. And one of the sister missionary's was from Salt Lake City. That was great to learn more about the history behind it. The ground that it's built on was a world war 2 bombing site and I guess at the time they built it there wasn't a member within 7 miles. Interesting.

Was wandering around the leicester square area and found the coolest little park ever! It was the most rustic park I've ever seen. So what did I do? Posted up on a bench and took another power nap while listening to the birds.

Another funny moment of the day was boarding the train on the underground. It was literally jam packed, person to person. And before I got on there were two girls and one of them got on but one didn't, so I was like well I'm getting on ha. And I was like "hey your friend ditched you," and she was like "well I was gonna go to dinner with her, but you want to go instead?" And I said, "sure, where we going?" And so I have a cute british girl asking me out to dinner and at the next train stop Alfred from Batman somehow manages to squeeze himself into this already jam packed train. Life is beyond humorous.

As of now it hasn't even been three days and I have connections in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Norway, Mexico, Poland, Australia, Canada, and of course London. But here's the thing, I already thought this into existence, and now I'm just living it out.
