Sunday Funday!

On Sunday, we scarfed down some granola bars in a rush to get ready for church. We attended the non-denominational Christ Church. It was interesting because it wasn't exactly in your usual house of worship. It was in a theater, the Mermaid Theater, to be exact. We were right on time to participate in a couple songs before the service actually started. It felt more like a classroom setting, because the preacher would ask the congregation questions every now and then throughout his sermon. Overall, the people were very nice and we were happy we made it on time.

When church was over, we said goodbye to the greeters and left to find some good food. We ended up at the Garfield's/Chili's/Applebee's English equivalent called Garfunkel's. They let us drink tap water for free so we were immediately happy. Katie and I both ordered the chicken, bacon, avocado wrap. It was delicious! Kaite says she would marry avocados because they always leave her satisfied. (This is one of many Katie-ology's we will add to the end of our blog, so stay tuned).

After lunch we walked around a bit and decided to stop at Starbuck's. It was perfect timing too, because the wind and drizzle had picked up some. It was nice to relax and sip my vanilla latte, chat with good friends, and people watch from our front window view.

Once the weather died down, we braved the cold and thought a movie would be a great way to end our restful Sunday afternoon. We saw The King's Speech, starring Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter. It seemed like a very fitting movie to see on our holiday here. Katie and I enjoyed it thoroughly. However, we recommend renting it, since it's not necessarily a theater-worthy flick. But still, very good!

When the movie was over, we were ready to head home and have some dinner. Matt volunteered to be the chef for the evening. He made us chicken fajitas that were awesome!!! We were too full to move. The guys have been so nice to us. We will do our best to make more breakfasts and dinners to make up for their hospitality. That being said, this blog is dedicated to our good friends, Gary and Matt, for being super amazing Americans! Thank you for being our security guards and cooks :)
