Have You Ever Been to Camden Town???

Have You ever been to Camden Town???  It's a city of Great renown.  I would say it's an "Alternative" city!  ha ha ha  It was so Fun!!!  We went with The Johnsons, a couple we met at the MTC.  We were the Only ones going to our mission and we became fast friends.  We don't always get a "P" Day because of our schedule--we teach Institute on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so Monday is a very busy day for us because of all the preparation.  (I guess if we had "devoured" the scriptures all our lives, it wouldn't be quite so challenging, but we LOVE it!!!)  Anyway just wanted to Share a special "P" Day we had with the Johnsons.  Here goes:

We had the men pose under the "legs."

 

The Marques are almost all 3D.

 

 I don't know how he does it, but there's this Bloke Again--following me.

The store fronts are Fantastic!

 

Notice the Airplane on the store across the street.  No there are Two English Blokes.

Cute aren't they?

 

If you're into hobnail boots and chains, buckles, etc. You'll find them All in Here!  I wondered where all this stuff came from.  Now I know.  We also saw all sorts of hair styles, hair colors, and make-up.  I just missed a girl with turquoise hair and strange make-up.  I tried to find her, but she disappeared.  She must have sensed that I was after her.

It's really quite an Amazing place to see.

 

It's probably better to go in the spring or summer as it was a bit rainy and cold, but still a lot of Fun.  The river goes through the town and they have outdoor cafes all along it and you can also take a boat ride.  This day we preferred to East Inside where it was Warm!

 

Like I said, you can find just about Anything in this town.  Good place to shop for costumes (if you have a good budget)!  I was in layers, so looked a bit Larger.

 

We had just had some Hot Chocolate to warm us up.

 

What could we do???  We Had to Fit in!!!  ha ha ha  (The weather ruined my hair.)  I ended up having to wear my coat over my jacket because it just got too cold, but we did walk around like this for a little while. 

 

All in all it was a very Fun & Needed Day!!!  We went to "Byron's" for delicious hamburgers and then we went to the movies.  We saw "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and really enjoyed it.  It was interesting.  We were in a small theatre and we had chairs like you have in "Home Theatres."  There were only about 50 seats.  There might have been a few more, but it was very small. 

 

We left the Johnson's at around 5pm and were going back to Gravesend, but when we got to our station, it was so Busy and Crowded, we suddenly thought, why are we going home???  So we walked over to Leicester Square and looked around and saw a big movie theatre there and on a whim, we decided to go see another show.  So we bought tickets to Hunger Games.  They reserve the seats over here, so you don't crowd in an get there early.  All the seats are assigned.  We could only go in 10 minutes before the movie started.  So we walked around Leicester Square and ended up getting some KFC.  (It was packed, but we found a seat.)  The only thing about it over here, is you have to add Salt!  They don't use as much salt over here as they do at home.  But it did the trick!  Because Hunger Games has been out for so long, the theatre was even Smaller than the one in Camden Town.  I guess with real estate at a premium, they don't like empty theatres, so if a movie is real popular they get the Big screen, and they graduate them down.  I think we were in the smallest one.  Like I say, more Adventures!!!

 

We're Loving it here!!!  We're hoping to be able to get a few more "P" Days, but Byron has got us so booked (he's trying to keep us Busy) that we don't have a lot of spare time for our Adventures, but that's the way we wanted it.  We came over here to Work! 

 

Oh, and we got a CAR!!!  We went 5 months to the day without a Car!  We think we've died and gone to Heaven!!!  We got our car on January 10, 2014.  It's GREAT!!!  We can accomplish a Lot more.  Now we just have to be Careful about our waistlines!!!  Anyway it's late but I thought you'd want to see our Adventure in Camden Town.

 

Bye for now!
