Scene 11: Hillsong, Burgers, and The British Museum

On Sunday, June 19th, I went back to Hillsong London for church. This time, my new friend Allison came with me.





Allison goes to UNC and is in London for an internship for the summer. A mutual friend told us to get together and last week we had dinner and I discovered that she's awesome.

Katie and Sarah also went to Hillsong, but to a different service. However, here's a picture Katie took of the worship:




After church, Allison and I went in search of lunch. What we stumbled upon was a restaurant named The Ultimate Burger.

It sounds ridiculous. The concept seemed a little silly. It was absolutely delicious.

My burger had bbq sauce (yeah, I know, in England!), bacon, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, monterey jack cheese, and a portobello mushroom. The meat was "traceable, prime scottish grass-fed beef," which seems a far cry from "angus."

These burgers were so tall.

When they arrived, both Allison and I were dubious as to whether we'd be able to finish them. We did. We proudly decided it was an American skill.

After lunch, Allison suggested dropping by the British Museum.



I say "dropping by" because it was 4:45 and they closed at 5:30. But to the museum we went!





I liked this exhibit introduction:




And this telegram:




Look at this art:




Now read the description:




Oh, were you thinking that, too?

I found a lion backpack in the gift shop. Ask me how lions relate to the British Museum- I have no idea.




After the museum, we walked through Russell Square on our way to Costa coffee where we had some biscuits and chatted it up. This is Allison!




Good, good day.
