Every Sunday morning Anna teaches swim lessons. So while she was busy doing that, I decided to take a walk to the British Museum, which is down the street from her flat. I was only there for like 30 minutes because I woke up kind of late, but it was pretty cool. It kind of reminded me of the Museum of Natural History.
Then we spent the rest of the day at a soup kitchen that Anna occasionally works at. The premise of the organization is that they get donated food from different markets and grocery stores in the morning and then create a meal with that stuff to feed about 30 homeless people, using a church's donated kitchen. The two other people working in the kitchen also go to the London School of Economics but are full time students, so it was kind of interesting to see their perspective on things (like they think that college is super hard and intense, but all of the study abroad students kind of thought it was a joke compared to their colleges). It was really tiring and reminiscent of my days at the ice cream store, but overall a really fun time and not really something a normal visitor to London would have gotten to experience.
And then we went back to Anna's place and started watching the Sound of Music. It took us like three nights to watch it though since it's so long and Anna falls asleep pretty quickly...
And here's the view from Anna's window:
