We left Salisbury this morning for the last time. Leaving our "home base" for the week was bittersweet. The hospitality has been incredible; the walks along their charming cobblestone streets has been a joy; and waking with the backdrop of an elegant cathedral cannot be beat. Yet, each step of this journey is amazing, because today we arrived in London. You cannot arrive in this vibrant, busy city without being awestruck. We walked from Westminster Abbey to Big Ben and across the Thames River to the London Eye. Then we returned to the heart of Methodism in Britain, Methodist Central Hall.
At Methodist Central Hall, we learned about Methodism in Britain and were excited to hear about their many plans to reach people who do not know the love of God through Jesus Christ. Many of their churches are declining also, but they just see this as a new challenge to bring the living Word of God to the people where they are today!
We had our first adventure on the Tube today and did not get separated or lost, praise God! What a joy it was to spend a quiet evening at the Canary Wharf and satisfied our silly craving for pizza at Gourmet Pizza. It was lovely to be outside just the two of us, but we are missing the boys quite a lot today! Tomorrow we hope to have our hearts strangely warmed with John Wesley's memories at Aldersgate! Jolly Good!

Angie and Curtis, I certainly hope that you have enjoyed your trip, because from your posts, I am assuming that it so!! What a wonderful opportunity to walk where John and Charles may have walked and to learn the history of who and what we are as Methodists. Thank you so much for posting as much as you have, you have brought much insight to us here at home. Blessings upon you both as you continue your trip. Bob
