HELLO!!!! sorry i missed that last day our internet was down. So yesterday we got up at like ten and then decided to go to St. Pauls Cathedral. As we got there it became very evident that it was going to be a very cold day. when we finally came to the refuge of the cathedral i was shocked by the size of it. As you walk into it you feel like a ant cause of its incredible size. As we walked through the front of the church you look up and see the ceiling it is breath taking. It is a beautiful mosaic that depicts many scenes from the bible. As we wandered the church we came to the back in which the ceiling is also a mosaic in which there are specks of gold on the ceiling. This makes the ceiling even more beautiful than any other i have ever scene. As we proceded out we went up a stair case in which we had to walk up 259 steps to get to the Whispering Gallery. In this gallery which is at the top of the dome you can be on one side and have another person on the other and whisper on the wall and have the other person hear it. At this point mom is absolutley exausted so I go up to the very top in which in total I had to walk 530 steps!!! It was a very good work out I have to admit.(: After going up all the way and getting some very good shots of the city I had to go all the way back down. As we headed back down we decided to go into the crypt. The crypt is under everything(like a basement nicole) (: and down there are many barial spots of famous pepole like Churchill and the Duke of Wellington. After exploring this for a while we met up with Mrs. Houck and Joey and left the Cathedral. After the cathedral we went to the Tower of London which is pretty cool. But before we did this we went to go get lunch!!!YES FOOD!!!(nicole (:) So in the Tower of London there are many things that were interesting. There were some armor, guns and jewels. Really there was what ever you wanted to see. But after the Jewels(the Crown Jewels may i add) me and mom went back to the apartment cause i felt sort of sick. So after a long nap we all got ready to go to the plays. Me, Joey, and Mom went to Spamolotte while Mrs. Houck went to Les Mis. So that was yesterday. Hope your having fun reading our blog.
