(This is St. Paul's Cathedral)So after our 12 hours of sleeping, we awoke fully rested and ready for a whole day of exploration. We have made some grand observations being in London for the day:
1. Everyone is very fashionable
2. There are only crazy expensive cars like, Mercedes-Benz, rolls Royce, etc here, but no gas stations
3.There are no markets around, yet everyone lives in London, because they are riding the subways, even on the weekends
4. History is appreciated- this is truly a historic city, every where you look
5. Amanda can not understand the British people when they start to talk fast, She now has a new appreciation for people who try to understand her. I mean we thought that we would be good in Britain, but when they get going, I got nothing.
Our day began visiting two of the most breathtaking and historical churches in London; Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. Larry loved the Westminster Abbey because of the historical monuments and grandness. My opinion is that it was beautiful, but its also kind of a monument for everyone who was ever royal and politic in England. Amanda loved St. Paul's Cathedral because of the architecture and christian symbolism. We climbed 596 feet to the top and saw the whole city. For dinner, we ate London's famous Fish n' Chips. At night, we went to see a London play, WICKED, which was amazing! It was about the untold story of how the wicked witch and the good witch are friends, and they had the story of the Wizard of Oz all turned around. Amanda went through a whole memory card taking photos for the day, so she is loving her camera very much. It is extremely freezing here but we are learning how to get around on the TUBE (subway) and trying not to stand out like tourists. We can't believe that we have only one more day to join this beautiful country, but we are going to enjoy it.
