London Fog

Today brought an early start as we had to make our way into London for a full day of training.

In addition to being briefed on our role as Games Pastors, we had sessions led by representatives of the Billy Graham Evangelical Association.

At the training, we met a wonderful couple, John and Elizabeth, who were more than happy to give us a walking tour of downtown London. We walked over Tower Bridge and under London Bridge (funny, as a kid, I was told it was falling down). We learned that the original London Bridge was sold to a man in Arizona. Later, walked around St. Paul's Cathedral, then crossed the Millennium Bridge and went to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. We heavily considered buying a standing room ticket for £5, but at three hours, thought the play was too long for that. After that, we headed back to our lodging and walked the last two miles on foot.

We are getting acclimated to the transit system, but still foggy on most of it. I should think that it will be second nature when it's time to go home.

We have enjoyed beautiful weather the past couple of days, so please pray that will remain the case more often than not.

As of now, tomorrow is a free day before the madness (that's a good thing) begins. I love Olympic Ministry! There is nothing like it!
