Today, Corey, Sarah, Steve, Ryan and I took a trip to St. Paul's Cathedral which sits in London's oldest part known simply as "The City." It is part of the Church of England and modeled after the Sistine Chapel. The current building to the dates back to the 17th Century and is home to the tombs of Admiral Nelson and The Duke of Wellington (I certainly did not know who these people were but a quick wikipedia search will tell you) It was a very beautiful site to witness. You were not allowed to take pictures in the cathedral, but were able to snap a few. The picture is of the ceiling which depicts the life of St. Paul. The other is from the upper balcony (seemed like the largest spiral staircase ever we were so tired) When then walked up a few more flights of spiral stairs and went outside that it was the most amazing view. You might be able to see the London Eye from the top one. Overall it was another fantastic day in London.
Cheers,
Paul
P.S. I'm putting up pictures from today as well as many others to the photo sharing website site called Flickr. Here is the link... http://flickr.com/photos/34202187@N03/
P.P.S. I did laundry for the first time today, and somehow the dryer broker or I did not put enough coins in it, so I had to make a clothes line in my room. I'll give you one guess as to who brought rope on the trip (this is for the John Carroll kids...Grandparents, Relatives etc. might not understand)
