Only in London could I have had a 2-hour class in the
morning then taken the tube to see Big Ben in the afternoon. The architecture
in that part of London is extremely beautiful and so different from the
buildings in the area where I am living. My friends and I climbed the stairs
out of the tube, turned around and there was Big Ben and Parliament stretching
up to the beautiful blue sky, which we were so luck to have on this outing.

| This is not a great picture of it but the River Thames is beautiful. |
We also saw the London Eye and got a student discount to get
an audio tour of Westminster Abbey. The Abbey was absolutely gorgeous.
Photographs were not allowed inside which we were sad about at first, but I
would have taken an overwhelming number of them had they been permitted. We
were however able to take pictures of the outside, which only gives you a sneak
peek at the amount of thought and detail put into every nook and cranny inside.

| This is the oldest door in Britain! |
The Abbey was amazing and I was astounded at how old some of
the tombs and artifacts were. Many famous people are buried there.
We had another adventurous day today which I will be posting about soon. Going to try and be better about not waiting so many days before posting...
Have a wonderfully marvelous day, cheers! ~Laura
