We went into London on Saturday as a group. Dr. Mitchell decided to pack in everything important about London in several hours. We were exhausted by the end.
Quick recap: We saw Buckingham Palace (the Queen was in residence), the National Gallery, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, the British Museum, and Evensong at St. Paul's Cathedral. Amazing, but really, not enough time to see anything in depth.
The Westminster Abbey was my favorite. There is so much history there. I saw the places where people like Henry VIII, Elizabeth, and Mary, Queen of Scots were buried. It brought back all the lovely history I studied with Mom in junior high, then in high school, and then my freshman year at Wright State. I got an audio guide and listened as I walked so I learned a lot. It was absolutely fascinating.
We were so tired by the time we got back. I fell asleep on the bus from London to Oxford. Seriously, those buses put you to sleep.
wow! sounds like an awesome day!
