Sunday morning I met my friend Lauren at Paddington Station in London. I had told her to meet me at the statue of Paddington Bear, which turned out to be a pretty good place to meet. While I was waiting, I got to see lots of people smile at the statue. It really makes lots of people happy. It made me happier just watching people get excited about the statue!

| Lauren and Paddington Bear! |
We took a high-speed train to Canterbury, which was a really pretty town!
 |
| The West Gate of Canterbury |
Isn't it weird to see cars going through ancient castle walls? It reminds me of Quebec City, which has similar walls.
 |
| So pretty! |
 |
| Lauren is obsessed with Nijntje! (the bunny, which is a character in Dutch children's books) |
On the train to Canterbury, Lauren looked at me and said, "Oh, I forgot to look up things to do in Canterbury," and I laughed and said, "Well, I forgot too. I guess we'll just have an adventure!" I had printed a map, so we just followed it to Canterbury Cathedral, which was really awesome!
 |
| Modern stained glass. It reminds me of a Disney movie! |
 |
| I love it when choirs practice while you're touring a church! It really adds to the atmosphere! |
We walked around Canterbury some more and found the ruins of a Roman Castle! I still can't get over Roman ruins in England!
